Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 The establishment presents a good balance between tradition and modernity. The rooms offer authentic Japanese elements mixed with modern amenities. The baths are pleasant but lack remarkable elements, while the cuisine seems decent but not exceptional. The architecture partly reflects classic aesthetics.
