Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
8/10 Emerging in a peaceful setting, this ryokan harmoniously combines modern and traditional elements. The rooms with tatamis create an immersive Japanese ambiance, enhanced by a charming outdoor bath. However, it would have gained in authenticity with a more clearly detailed culinary offer in the services.
