Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 Simple and functional, this ryokan presents elements of Japanese tradition but lacks refinement. The rooms and onsen are pleasant but without particular charm, and the culinary offer remains quite basic. The overall atmosphere is comfortable but does not fully immerse in an immersive experience.
