Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
5/10 A skillful blend of modernity and tradition is outlined in this ryokan. While the communal spaces and some details reflect a Japanese touch, other aspects such as the rooms and the absence of traditional baths weaken the immersion. The charm remains discreet, but the essentials are present.
