Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 In a setting mixed with traditional and modern elements, this ryokan offers sufficient comfort but lacks remarkable onsen and a typically refined culinary experience. However, the rooms offer tatami mats and a pleasant view, but the communal spaces reflect a style that is too contemporary.
