Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity

7/10 Harmoniously nestled in a natural setting, this ryokan marries pleasantly arranged rooms with tatamis and a slightly modern ambiance. The spacious and well-maintained onsen offers a beautiful immersion. However, the culinary experience, though diverse, lacks typical kaiseki refinement. An overall enriching but perfectible experience.
