Japanese Authenticity Rating
6/10 Combining comfort and traditional elements, this ryokan offers rooms mainly enriched with tatamis and futons, although modernized. The meals highlight local touches but lack culinary excellence. The baths offer remarkable views but without full immersion in Japanese authenticity.
