Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
8/10 This ryokan impresses with its architecture blending tradition and modernity, its carefully presented meals inspired by kaiseki cuisine, and its rooms offering a warm and authentic ambiance. The onsen, although enjoyable, lacks a view or distinctive striking elements. An immersive experience for Japanese culture enthusiasts.
