Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 Functional but partially authentic, this ryokan blends modernity and tradition. The architecture and baths show attention to Japanese codes, though not exceptional. The culinary experience stands out with elaborate dishes highlighting local products. The rooms subtly lack immersive elements for a fully traditional experience.
