Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
4/10 Offering an experience with some Japanese touches, this ryokan mixes modern and traditional elements without full immersion. The meals, though varied, lack kaiseki authenticity. The baths offer a basic ambiance, and the rooms combine modern comfort with only partially Japanese style.
