Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
5/10 Harmoniously nestled in a Japanese ambiance, this ryokan combines simplicity and tradition. However, modern elements slightly predominate, offering comfort but limiting immersion. The baths are functional but lack grandeur, and the meals, while adequate, do not reach the quality of a true kaiseki. An accessible but modest experience.
