Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
4/10 Only partially integrating into Japanese tradition, this ryokan offers architecture often reminiscent of Western chalets. The meals show a moderate effort of authenticity. Baths are present but ordinary, and the rooms offer a more modern than traditional design, lacking depth in the Japanese experience.
