Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 The ryokan harmoniously mixes tradition and modernity, with authentic touches such as tatamis and kaiseki. The baths offer a lovely view, although they lack exceptional character. The rooms benefit from classic and elegant decor. Overall, a pleasant experience but slightly westernized in places.
