Japanese Authenticity Evaluation

6/10 Close to a pleasant authenticity, this ryokan blends modernity and traditions. The rooms with tatami offer a beautiful immersion, but the whole suffers from a marked Western influence. The sea view and some baths are attractive, while the culinary offer seems modest, lacking in refinement typical of Kaiseki.
