Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity

7.5/10 Harmonious and charming, this ryokan combines tradition with a few modern touches. The rooms are welcoming with tatami and futons, while the architecture breathes authenticity. The garden and decorative details enhance the Japanese ambiance, although the absence of a natural onsen and a somewhat unremarkable culinary offer are notable.
