Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
5/10 Faithful at times, this ryokan shows a mix of traditional and modern elements. The baths and decoration aim to align with Japanese aesthetics but lack depth in some details. The cuisine, though pleasant, seems to lack an authentic touch of kaiseki that would have enhanced the experience.
