Japanese Authenticity Rating
6/10 Authentic and charming, this ryokan blends traditional elements such as tatami and futons with some modern touches. The decor, while respectful, sometimes lacks immersive refinement. The baths add a nice experience, but the culinary offering seems to remain simple, without reaching the sophistication of a kaiseki meal.
