Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7.5/10 Unique and sprinkled with authentic elements, this ryokan offers traditional rooms with tatami and peaceful views. The onsen seems well integrated but slightly lacking in extravagance. The decor and ambiance remain charming although modern in some places, while the culinary experience deserves a more refined note.
