Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 The establishment harmoniously blends traditional elements like tatami with modern touches. The cuisine seems refined, without reaching an exceptional kaiseki style. The baths, although present, seem modest, and the rooms offer a serene but slightly contemporary ambiance. A welcoming setting, perfect for accessible immersion.
