Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 A ryokan with discreet charm where a mix of traditional and modern elements can be found. The architecture respects Japanese codes, but some details are slightly Westernized. The baths are pleasant, although they lack natural spring water. The cuisine is decent with local touches, while the rooms offer good immersion.
