Japanese Authenticity Rating
7/10 Charming establishment subtly blending tradition and modernity. The rooms offer a beautiful cultural immersion thanks to the tatamis, but the architecture includes some more contemporary elements. The onsens benefit from a beautiful integration with the surrounding nature. The cuisine is refined, although modestly inspired by authentic kaiseki meals. A pleasant and balanced experience.
