Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 Located in a charming setting, the ryokan offers a pleasant immersion through traditional onsen baths and a simple decor. The culinary experience remains decent though somewhat standardized, while the architecture mixes modern elements with Japanese touches. A pleasant experience, but slightly removed from deep traditions.
