Japanese Authenticity Rating
5/10 Visually, this ryokan manages to capture some traditional aspects with tatamis and a Japanese ambiance, but modern elements dominate, limiting immersion. The culinary experience seems simple and without much innovation, just like the facilities that lack characteristic baths or onsen. A mixed but charming authenticity.
