Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
8/10 A charming ambiance with traditional elements like tatamis and futons, well integrated into the architecture. The baths offer varied settings, sometimes with views of nature. The culinary offer, while appetizing, could be a bit more refined to capture the essence of authentic Kaiseki.
