Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Harmony between tradition and modernity, this ryokan offers elaborate cuisine and welcoming rooms. The baths, although present, lack authentic character. The architecture slightly deviates from traditional codes but remains pleasant. An overall pleasant experience, although less immersive for enthusiasts of pure Japanese authenticity.
