Japanese Authenticity Rating
4/10 While offering a modern and comfortable experience, this ryokan lacks authentic elements such as tatamis or shōji. Although the cuisine seems diverse, it remains far from refined Kaiseki. The available baths are not very traditional, and the ambiance feels more like a hotel than a typical ryokan.
