Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Mixing modern and traditional elements, the ryokan offers pleasant rooms with a view, but some lack authenticity. The baths, although well-maintained, do not seem to utilize natural springs. The culinary setting is standard, without excessive refinement. The architecture reflects a fusion rather than a strict adherence to Japanese codes.
