Japanese Authenticity Rating
7/10 Appreciable quality in this ryokan where the Japanese essence is generally preserved. The rooms offer a well-thought-out traditional ambiance, and the onsens with views are appealing, though simple. The culinary experience provides an interesting local touch. However, the exterior architecture shows more modern influences.
