Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Despite its charm, the ryokan blends tradition and modernity, offering a semi-authentic setting. The baths are present with interesting touches but lack striking natural elements. The cuisine seems pleasant but not very elaborate. The well-designed rooms combine comfort and moderate Japanese decoration. The whole is appreciated but not completely immersive.
