Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 Enjoying a sublime view of nature, this ryokan combines a contemporary touch with Japanese elements such as tatamis, but the authenticity remains partial. The onsens offer a beautiful immersion, but the cuisine, although well-crafted, lacks purely traditional details. A great address for a comfortable but slightly modernized stay.
