Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 The ryokan combines modern and traditional elements with a certain charm, although the authenticity is not perfect. Rooms with tatami mats and futons add a local touch, while the baths and cuisine remain modest but pleasant. The overall experience is balanced, though not fully immersive.
