Japanese Authenticity Rating
6/10 Although this ryokan combines traditional elements like tatami and baths, it also incorporates modern touches, sometimes dominant. The meals offer a decent experience without Kaiseki finesse. The well-decorated rooms remain pleasant but slightly lose cultural immersion. Overall, a semi-authentic experience.
