Japanese Authenticity Evaluation

7/10 The ryokan’s authentic atmosphere is enhanced by traditional architecture and a careful ambiance. Meals are crafted with local products, although they sometimes lack kaiseki excellence. The baths, while decent, do not particularly stand out. The rooms blend tradition and modern touches with beautiful harmony.
