Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 Harmoniously blending modern and traditional, this ryokan offers complete comfort with charming onsen settings. The rooms combine traditional and contemporary elements, while the culinary aesthetic seems to lack a bit of kaiseki refinement. A beautiful experience, although somewhat distant from absolute authenticity.
