Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Architectural variety combining modern and traditional styles, with well-arranged spaces but not fully immersive. Attractive local cuisine although slightly lacking in kaiseki sophistication. Baths are present offering a tranquil experience but without standout elements. Pleasant rooms including Japanese touches without being entirely typical.
