Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Playing with traditional elements, this ryokan offers pleasant rooms with tatamis, but the modern influence is evident. The onsen, while functional, lacks distinctive character. The culinary experience is refined, without reaching Kaiseki excellence. The overall feel is comfortable but evokes more of a hybrid mix than pure authenticity.
