Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 Harmony between tradition and modernity, this ryokan offers elegant rooms with well-appointed tatamis. However, some modern elements reduce the total immersion. The culinary experience seems engaging but without extraordinary refinement. The onsens are present but not exceptional. Overall, a pleasant and authentic atmosphere, albeit with modern concessions.
