Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 Charming ryokan combining traditional and modern elements, with well-designed baths and a serene ambiance. The rooms use tatami mats but integrate contemporary touches. The meal seems refined but remains less elaborate than a high-end kaiseki. A pleasant place for a partial Japanese experience.
