Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
5/10 Modern yet imbued with discreet charm, this ryokan combines contemporary comfort and traces of Japanese heritage. The outdoor baths captivate, though their atmosphere remains basic. Meals are decent, without great sophistication. The rooms, simple yet Japanese, satisfy without dazzling. A pleasant experience but not entirely immersive.
