<h2 class="titreeval" style="color: var(--primary-color);font-size: 20px">Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity</h2>
<span class="noteauth"><b>4/10</b></span> <span>Qualified with a simple atmosphere, this ryokan combines modern elements with a few Japanese touches. The rooms offer little traditional immersion, and the culinary experience seems rudimentary. The baths, although present, lack authenticity. The whole is aimed at travelers seeking an accessible stay but not deeply rooted in traditions.</span>

<h2 class="titreeval" style="color: var(--primary-color);font-size: 20px">Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity</h2>
<span class="noteauth"><b>4/10</b></span> <span>The establishment combines some elements of Japanese design with contemporary influences, without a complete immersion. The culinary offer seems correct but lacks traditional refinement. The baths are present but modest, and the rooms lean more towards the modern style, reducing the classic authentic charm of a ryokan.</span>
