Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
8/10 Perfectly located with a splendid view, this ryokan blends tradition and modernity in its architecture and rooms. The baths offer a relaxing experience, while the meals, although varied, lack refinement. The ambiance exudes Japanese elegance with a contemporary touch. The whole provides a pleasant and almost authentic immersion.
