Japanese Authenticity Rating
7/10 Many classic Japanese touches, like well-appointed tatami mats and baths. However, modern integration is more visible, diluting the authenticity. Well-prepared meals, but presentations could more closely recall traditions. A pleasant compromise between comfort and style, even if complete cultural immersion is not fully achieved.
