Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
3/10 Not relying on authentic elements, this place favors a contemporary design with playful touches. The culinary experience seems cosmopolitan and friendly without marked ties to kaiseki. The absence of a notable onsen or natural bath reduces immersion, suggesting a modern and Westernized approach, closer to a resort than a traditional ryokan.
