Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 Generous in its integration of traditional elements, this ryokan strives to provide a Japanese ambiance with tatamis and futons. However, the modern blend is noticeable. Functional but modest onsen. The culinary experience seems limited to dishes without notable refinement. Overall, it remains pleasant for a gentle introduction to Japanese culture.
