Japanese Authenticity Assessment

7/10 Charmingly, this ryokan combines discreet modernity and tradition with rooms featuring typical tatamis and a soothing environment. The onsen offers a nice experience, though not spectacular. The varied cuisine, however, lacks authentic refinement. A pleasant immersion, but not entirely faithful to the classic Japanese experience.
