Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
4.5/10 Resolutely modern in its approach, this place offers a friendly experience with limited Japanese touches. The baths are present but lack particular charm. The cuisine, although varied, lacks traditional refinement. The rooms blend authentic elements with a contemporary style, creating a pleasant but not very immersive atmosphere.
