Japanese Authenticity Evaluation

6/10 Harmoniously located, this ryokan combines Japanese traditions with modern touches. The rooms feature tatamis but lack immersive details. The cuisine highlights local products but remains relatively simple. The onsen, although modest, offers a pleasant touch. An interesting balance between comfort and traditions.
