Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
5/10 Incorporating some traditional elements like tatami, this ryokan mixes typical design and modernity. The absence of a natural onsen or remarkable baths limits immersion, while the culinary offer is undefined. Although charming, the rooms offer mixed comfort and lack purely Japanese refinement.
