<span class="noteauth"><b>6/10</b></span> <span>Overall, this establishment presents a mix of traditional and modern elements, with several harmonious Japanese touches. The baths, while interesting, do not seem exceptional, and the cuisine could have offered a more authentic experience. The atmosphere remains welcoming, but some interior spaces lack full immersion in the traditional style.</span>

<h2 class="titreeval" style="color: var(--primary-color);font-size: 20px">Japanese Authenticity Evaluation</h2>
<span class="noteauth"><b>5/10</b></span> Combining touches of traditional design but tinged with Westernization, this ryokan offers a suitable setting. The notable absence of a traditional bath service reduces its appeal. The well-appointed rooms, however, struggle to fully embody the desired Japanese immersion.

<span class="noteauth"><b>6/10</b></span> <span>Although the architecture mixes tradition and modernity, the atmosphere retains a Japanese charm. Meals are presented with care but lack Kaiseki refinement. The baths, though present, do not stand out for marked authenticity. The rooms offer a pleasant balance between tatami mats and modern amenities.</span>
