Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 Ideally located with magnificent views, this ryokan combines modern and traditional elements. Rooms with tatami mats and shōji offer a nice immersion, but the overall architecture is more Westernized. The baths are pleasant but lack a distinctive character. The culinary experience seems correct without reaching great finesse.
