Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
3/10 Picturesque but far from traditional Japanese standards, this establishment seems more inspired by local charm. The facilities are functional, but Japanese authenticity is noticeably lacking, both in architecture and baths. The culinary experience, though meticulous, seems more influenced by Western than Japanese styles.
