Japanese Authenticity Rating
6/10 Faithful at times, this ryokan blends Japanese elements such as tatamis and a pleasant onsen, but the modern influence is noticeable. The cuisine seems honorable but lacks the typical refinement of kaiseki. The ambiance remains decent, although it can be improved for a full immersion.
