Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
5/10 Mixed tradition, this ryokan combines modern elements and Japanese touches, but with a Western influence. Baths are present, but their natural aspect seems limited. The cuisine is varied, without a predominance of traditional refinement. The rooms offer a clean and pleasant ambiance, but lack full immersion.
