Japanese Authenticity Rating
5/10 While this ryokan exudes elegant modernity, it lacks some key elements of Japanese tradition. The spaces, though refined, mix influences that reduce immersive authenticity. The baths and cuisine seem pleasant but remain modest in their approach to cultural heritage.
