Assessment of Japanese Authenticity
4/10 Although the ryokan offers fine cuisine, the architecture and rooms adopt a modern style without true immersion in Japanese tradition. The baths are elegant but far from classic onsen, and traditional cultural elements are little represented. The ambiance remains pleasant but lacks authenticity.
