Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 An establishment offering a nice immersion in the surrounding nature but with fairly modern architecture and rooms. The meals seem well-prepared and respect culinary traditions, although the baths, even pleasant, lack natural charm. The overall welcoming atmosphere nevertheless provides a pleasant stay.
