Japanese Authenticity Rating

7/10 Integrating traditional elements and an immersive atmosphere, this ryokan offers tatamis and futons with picturesque views. The cuisine is enticing but seems to lack complete authenticity. The baths, although pleasant, do not have the charm of natural onsens. A beautiful experience, albeit a bit modernized.
