Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
4/10 Some traditional elements are present, but the layout remains generally modern and simple. The culinary experience seems limited, and the baths lack authentic onsen character. The rooms offer some Japanese touches but remain rather modest. The natural setting is pleasant but requires deeper immersion to be fully convincing.
