Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
8/10 Wonderfully rooted in Japanese tradition, this ryokan offers authentic architecture with elements like tatami and shōji. The rooms exude a soothing and decorative ambiance. However, the baths lack a bit of grandeur, and while the meals seem adequate, they could offer a more elaborate culinary experience.
