Japanese Authenticity Rating
5.5/10 Combining a mix of modern and traditional elements, this ryokan offers a decent experience, but the integration of more authentic elements is lacking in some respects. The cuisine is carefully prepared but slightly westernized, and the baths offer a pleasant atmosphere without any distinct natural charm.
