Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 Evoking a balance between modernity and tradition, the ryokan offers rooms with tatami mats and futons, although some elements are simplified. The architecture is correct but lacks sophistication. Meals are not visible to assess the culinary experience. No onsen is apparent, which limits the overall authenticity.
