Japanese Authenticity Rating
6/10 Combining modern and traditional elements, this ryokan offers pleasant baths and decent cuisine. However, the integration of Japanese architectural codes lacks authenticity, and the rooms, though aesthetic, include modern equipment limiting immersion. A pleasant experience but not very immersive for pure tradition enthusiasts.
