Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
5.5/10 Nestled in a soothing setting, this ryokan incorporates traditional elements such as tatamis and shōji, but their integration sometimes seems mixed with modern aspects. The culinary experience is slightly lacking in sophistication. The baths, although available, are basic. The rooms nevertheless retain a discreet and pleasant charm.
