Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Visible in a pleasant natural environment, this ryokan combines traditional and modern elements. The baths are enjoyable without being exceptional, and the cuisine seems to highlight local richness. However, the overall layout and decoration lack a bit of immersion to fully reflect Japanese authenticity.
