Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
8/10 Quintessence of Japanese authenticity with harmonious rooms integrating tatamis and futons, and architecture that respects traditional codes. The onsen offers a nice atmosphere although not spectacular, and the culinary experience, while of quality, slightly lacks the sophistication typical of kaiseki.
