Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
7/10 Functional and charming, the ryokan offers rooms respecting traditions with tatamis and futons, although slightly modernized. The common areas and baths are simple but pleasant. However, the culinary experience remains unevaluated here, leaving room for a moderate interpretation of Japanese authenticity.
