Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 Ideally located with a few Japanese touches in the layout, this ryokan blends contemporary comfort with traditional elements. Its cuisine, although varied, lacks authenticity while the well-designed baths offer a pleasant experience without being exceptional. The rooms combine modernity and tradition, but without full immersion.
