Japanese Authenticity Rating
6/10 Very well located, this ryokan combines tradition and modernity in its architecture but lacks immersive details. The culinary experience is pleasant and authentic, though not very innovative. The bathtubs, while present, are modest. The rooms offer traditional elements, with some discreet modern touches, but do not fully transport you to the classic Japanese ambiance.
