Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
2/10 Functional hotel but lacking traditional Japanese charm. Neither the architecture nor the rooms reflect the ryokan heritage. The culinary offer and amenities evoke more of a modern accommodation than the expected authenticity. A practical option but far from traditional standards.
