Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
3/10 Integrated into a modern structure with some Japanese touches, this ryokan lacks traditional character. The rooms and common areas favor standard comfort at the expense of authenticity. The culinary experience seems correct without notable sophistication, and the bath offers an average presence without real natural appeal.
