<div class="diveval">
<h2 class="titreeval" style="color: var(--primary-color);font-size: 20px">Japanese Authenticity Rating</h2>
<span class="noteauth"><b>7/10</b></span> <span>This ryokan harmoniously marries traditional and modern elements. The meals are carefully crafted with local inspirations, although a bit contemporary. The baths offer a lovely experience, even if some details lack uniqueness. The rooms exude a pleasant ambiance, but slightly influenced by modern comfort. Ideal for a semi-authentic stay.</span>
