Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 Skillfully designed, this ryokan marries tradition and modernity. The baths offer an immersive experience, but the rooms mix Japanese elements with Western comfort. The view is superb, and the local cuisine, although not entirely kaiseki, remains pleasant and authentic. A pleasant atmosphere, but with some modern touches noticeable.
