Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Offering a pleasant immersion, the ryokan skillfully blends tradition and modern elements. The sublime view from the rooms and the natural baths enhance the experience, while the meal, though tasty, lacks creativity. Authenticity could be strengthened by a design more in line with traditional Japanese standards.
