Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 A true mix of traditional and modern elements, this ryokan offers a pleasant experience. The outdoor baths contribute to one of the most beautiful views, but a more authentic touch is lacking in the culinary presentation and room decoration, which sometimes blends Western elements.
