Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 Charming with refined cuisine and attractive baths, this ryokan offers comfortable rooms but mixes modernity and tradition. The innovative architecture remains distant from strictly Japanese codes. A pleasant experience, but slightly off from a typical setting.
