Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 Endowed with a certain Japanese charm, this ryokan mixes tradition and modernity with pleasant rooms, although somewhat simplified. The culinary experience is flavorful but sometimes seems to lack authentic refinement. The baths offer a functional experience without being exceptionally memorable. A pleasant stopover but without total immersion.
