Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
7/10 Although the ryokan respects several traditional aspects such as tatami mats and shōji for the rooms, a discreet modernity can be perceived here and there. The outdoor onsen offers a relaxing experience, but the meals and overall integration of traditions may prove slightly more modest.
