Japanese Authenticity Rating
5/10 Charming by nature, this ryokan combines traditional elements like tatamis and more modern aspects. The meals are pleasant but relatively simple, and the baths, although present, lack the character of an authentic onsen. A good mix, but not fully rooted in Japanese traditions.
