Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
4/10 The establishment combines some elements of Japanese design with contemporary influences, without a complete immersion. The culinary offer seems correct but lacks traditional refinement. The baths are present but modest, and the rooms lean more towards the modern style, reducing the classic authentic charm of a ryokan.
