Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Although this ryokan features traditional elements such as tatami and local Japanese meals, the notable presence of modern touches and the absence of an exceptional onsen limit its sense of escape. The ambiance is pleasant but could be more immersive for a typical experience. The welcome seems warm and attentive.
