Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity

5/10 Overall charming, this ryokan combines modern and traditional aspects with a somewhat Western design. The culinary experience features refined dishes but not typical of kaiseki. The baths offer a nice atmosphere although they lack natural sources. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, but less immersive in the typical Japanese ambiance.
