Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
3/10 Overall, this ryokan presents a style that strays from traditional Japanese aesthetics with marked Western influences. The rooms notably lack immersive elements like tatami mats or futons. The notable absence of natural onsens and the simplicity of the culinary offer reduce its authenticity.
