Japanese Authenticity Evaluation

4/10 A true compromise between modernity and tradition, this ryokan offers a decent experience without being totally immersive. The rooms and the onsen lack marked authenticity, while the cuisine is satisfactory but does not reach the elegance of a true kaiseki. A more pronounced local touch would enhance the whole.
