Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Nice ryokan combining modern comfort and some traditional elements, but lacking complete authenticity. The baths offer a pleasant although modest experience. The cuisine seems decent without great creativity. The rooms, clean and bright, include little traditional flair. Ideal for a simplified but less immersive experience.
