Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 True to the Japanese spirit, this ryokan features well-appointed rooms with tatamis and shōji. The onsen, well integrated but without an exceptional view, still offers a nice experience. The culinary offer seems correct but lacks finesse. The design harmoniously blends modernity and tradition.
