Assessment of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 Somewhere between tradition and modernity, this ryokan offers typical elements such as tatamis and a notable culinary experience. However, some modern aspects, like the decor and layout, slightly diminish the authenticity. The onsen remains pleasant but lacks exceptional character. It is a comfortable but moderately immersive place.
