Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
4/10 Traditionally inspired, this ryokan shows a notable blend of modern and classic elements without fully embracing Japanese authenticity. The culinary experience, though delicious, remains simple and unelaborated. The baths are functional without distinctive features. The rooms have a pleasant ambiance but lack immersive depth.
