Japanese Authenticity Rating
6/10 An overview of the ryokan reveals a mix of authenticity and modernity. The baths offer a notable experience with a beautiful view, but the rooms and decoration blend with modern elements. The meal highlights local products but slightly lacks the expected kaiseki refinement.
