Japanese Authenticity Rating
3/10 Inspired by a modern and minimalist aesthetic, this place innovates but lacks marked traditional Japanese elements. The rooms and common areas are warmly decorated, but their cultural authenticity remains limited. The clear absence of an onsen and typically Japanese meals hinders the immersive experience expected of a ryokan.
