Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Third in a blend of tradition and modernity, this ryokan offers a suitable experience. The meals are varied and tasty without reaching the excellence of kaiseki, while the baths, although functional, lack unique character. The ambiance of the rooms is pleasant but somewhat Westernized.
