Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Numerous traditional rooms with tatami mats, carefully maintained Japanese ambiance in part of the facilities, but coexistence of modern spaces. The onsen offers a nice view but remains modest. Varied and attractive cuisine, with a well-presented local touch. The exterior architecture leans more towards a contemporary approach.
