Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 In an elegant modern setting, this ryokan blends contemporary touches with some traditional references. The baths offer impressive views even if their authenticity is slightly compromised. The refined cuisine shows respect for Japanese culinary traditions, although the room layout favors current comfort more than a typically Japanese style.
