Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 Somewhere between modernity and tradition, this ryokan combines rooms with traditional elements with simplified modern spaces. The culinary experience and baths offer a pleasant touch but lack deep authenticity to compete with more classic establishments. A comfortable destination with a certain Japanese ambiance.
