Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Beautiful blend of traditional and contemporary elements, the ryokan offers rooms with authentic tatamis, but several modern details stand out overall. The meals are well presented but seem to lack refinement. The baths, though comfortable, lack the natural aspect of traditional onsen. A pleasant experience despite some compromises.
