Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Despite a good balance between modernity and tradition in the design and rooms, the hybrid nature of the baths and the culinary offer, although varied, lacks a bit of authenticity. This ryokan offers a pleasant experience but could have better captured the essence of Japanese traditions in some aspects.
