Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Magnificent sea view and warm ambiance but mixing modern touches with Japanese charm. The rooms adopt elegant tatamis and shōji, but with some dissonant contemporary elements. The baths offer appreciable comfort but lack a true natural onsen. The gastronomy seems correct, without extravagance.
