Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 Imbued with a combination of traditional Japanese elements and décor marked by modern influences, this ryokan evokes a certain authenticity. The rooms with tatamis and typical elements offer a nice local touch, but the omnipresence of seasonal Western decorations disrupts total immersion. The visible absence of natural bath facilities reduces the traditional aspect.
