Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 Overall, the ryokan harmoniously combines tradition and modernity. The rooms offer notable comfort with Japanese elements, although some modern touches are present. The onsens offer a relaxing experience, with pleasant views. However, the cuisine, although varied, seems less focused on refined Japanese traditions.
