Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
8/10 Typical and charming, this ryokan harmoniously blends traditional elements and modern touches, with well-maintained rooms and an attractive view. The onsen offers a truly relaxing atmosphere, although the culinary experience seems to lack depth. A nice balance between tradition and contemporary comfort.

Negative Reviews
Salle de bain un peu petite
Quelques clients ont trouvé la salle de bain assez réduite, ce qui peut gêner le confort pour les séjours plus longs ou pour ceux qui aiment de grands espaces.
Onsen de taille limitée
L’onsen est décrit comme petit, parfois accessible à une seule personne à la fois, ce qui peut entraîner de l’attente aux heures de forte affluence.
Futon et oreiller peu confortables pour certains
Quelques clients ont trouvé les futons et oreillers un peu durs, rendant la nuit moins confortable qu’espéré pour ceux peu habitués à la literie japonaise.
Accès au métro avec valises
L’accès au métro nécessite parfois de marcher 7-8 minutes et de monter des escaliers, ce qui peut être difficile avec des bagages lourds.
Prix un peu élevé
Le prix est jugé un peu élevé par certains, mais il est généralement justifié par l’emplacement et le charme traditionnel de l’établissement.
Séjour trop court selon certains clients
