Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
7/10 Faithful to the Japanese spirit, this ryokan harmoniously combines tradition and modern touches. The rooms decorated with tatamis and a remarkable view add charm, while the onsen with panorama enhances the experience. The cuisine, though delicious, lacks extreme refinement, and some common spaces reveal a contemporary ambiance slightly diminishing authenticity.
