Japanese Authenticity Rating

6/10 Located in a charming setting with some authentic touches, this ryokan combines modern and traditional elements. The culinary experience seems decent but not fully rooted in the kaiseki tradition. The baths offer a typical ambiance without much flair, and the rooms mix local decor with contemporary furniture.
