Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
5/10 Rustic and charming, this ryokan combines authentic elements, such as tatami mats and futons, with a notable presence of modernity. The cuisine, although local, lacks a bit of originality. The baths offer a relaxing touch, but without striking features. The surrounding natural setting adds a nice serenity.
