Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity

5/10 Partial authenticity with some traditional elements like tatami rooms. However, the overall orientation leans towards modernity visible in some spaces and the overall design. The notable absence of a natural onsen or other in-depth Japanese touches limits the immersion in the typical ambiance of a classic ryokan.
