Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
5/10 Featuring some traditional Japanese elements such as tatami mats, this ryokan blends a rather ordinary design with authentic touches. The culinary experience and baths seem modest, and the spaces lack immersive refinement. Greater attention to detail would be necessary for a perfect cultural immersion.
