Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
3/10 Although functional, this establishment lacks Japanese authenticity with a simple design and modest rooms. The baths, although present, are basic and the general atmosphere remains very modern, non-immersive. The culinary dimension seems very ordinary, which reduces the traditional experience expected from a ryokan.
