Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Perfect blend of tradition and modernity, this establishment surprises with its charming ambiance. The rooms are equipped with tatami mats and shōji, but contemporary elements like a television modernize the experience. The cuisine is varied but uneven, and the absence of traditional onsen baths limits the authenticity.
