Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
7/10 A beautiful balance between modernity and Japanese traditions. The rooms elegantly combine futons and contemporary furniture, and the onsen space offers a soothing atmosphere. The cuisine, although refined, leans more towards a fusion of styles than a complete traditional kaiseki. An overall pleasant and faithful experience.
