Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
3/10 There are some Japanese style elements such as tatamis in the rooms, but the overall lacks refinement and authentic immersion. The culinary experience seems basic, and the notable absence of an onsen reduces the overall authenticity. Although functional, this ryokan is too modern and impersonal to capture the traditional Japanese essence.
