Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
8/10 Delighted to discover a subtle harmony between tradition and modern comfort. This ryokan blends authentic architecture, beautiful rooms with tatami, and a charmingly integrated onsen. The culinary experience seems well thought out but perhaps a bit conventional. A successful invitation to relax in a typical Japanese setting.
