Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity

9/10 Opening onto a world of Japanese elegance, this ryokan combines refined architecture with authentic interiors. Kaiseki meals enhance local flavors, and the atmosphere of the rooms invites serenity. The only slight shortcoming lies in the baths, although charming, less exceptional than the rest of the services.
