Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
2/10 Strong modern influence with few traditional elements. No distinctive signs of an authentic culinary experience nor traditional onsen baths. The well-maintained rooms, however, lack immersive elements reminiscent of a classic ryokan. The overall setting is functional but distant from typical Japanese cultural standards.
