Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Overall charming, this ryokan combines modern and traditional elements, although sometimes too westernized. The presence of a bath with a view and a pleasant atmosphere in the rooms is notable, but the culinary offer seems to lack typical refinement and authentic kaiseki. An immersive but improvable experience.
