Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Situated between tradition and modernity, this ryokan offers a blend of Japanese and contemporary elements. The baths are pleasant with a slightly rustic touch, and the rooms mix tatami mats with sleek furniture. The culinary experience, while decent, lacks authentic research, and some spaces seem more functional than traditional.
