Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 A beautiful harmony between traditional and modern elements emerges. The tatami floor rooms and the bath offer a pleasant Japanese ambiance. The onsen seems nice but lacks a bit of unique visual immersion. The exterior architecture shows a mixed but pleasant design.
