Japanese Authenticity Assessment
6/10 Typically designed with Japanese elements like tatamis and gardens, this ryokan combines authenticity with modern touches. Baths are available but modest. The cuisine seems adequate without exceptional refinement. Though charming, the balance between pure tradition and modernity slightly limits its total immersion.
