Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity

6.5/10 Typically Japanese in its architecture with tatami rooms and shōji, this ryokan blends tradition and modern touches. However, the visible absence of an onsen and an unevaluated culinary experience limit its overall authenticity. The atmosphere remains peaceful and welcoming, true to the codes of traditional Japan.
