Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 Discover a ryokan combining tradition and modernity: a well-thought-out architecture, a pleasant onsen, and traditional rooms with tatami. However, a slightly modernized atmosphere and cuisine lacking typical refinement somewhat reduce the traditional immersion.
