Japanese Authenticity Rating
4/10 Pretty but lacking in authenticity, this ryokan offers a few Japanese touches integrated into a generally modern design. The absence of fully traditional cuisine and natural onsen baths limits immersion. The rooms, while comfortable, combine modern simplicity and some traditional elements.
