Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Large openings to nature offering sublime views, but a notable presence of modernity in architecture and amenities. The outdoor baths add an appreciable traditional touch. The culinary experience seems well-crafted, though slightly lacking in creativity. The rooms combine comfort and aesthetics but remain semi-traditional.
