Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 True Japanese immersion with charming architecture and well-appointed rooms. The harmonious blend of modern and traditional elements brings a warm atmosphere. The onsen, although modest, offers a pleasant experience. The cuisine is carefully prepared with typical dishes but lacks exceptional Kaiseki refinement.
