Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
5.0/10 Sober ambiance with a mix of modernity and tradition, the ryokan offers a well-designed bath without exceptional charm and a clear view. The cuisine seems local but lacks the expected refinement in a kaiseki. The authenticity of the rooms is diminished by marked modern elements.
