Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6.5/10 Although the architecture shows a certain respect for the Japanese style, a slight modern touch is visible. The rooms are charming with tatamis and traditional elements, but simplified. Functional onsen though basic, and the culinary experience is not illustrated to fully judge the authenticity of the meals.
