Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 Beautiful blend of modern and traditional elements, with comfortable rooms equipped with tatamis and futons. The culinary experience is refined, though sometimes slightly westernized. The baths are functional but lack natural charm. The overall atmosphere remains pleasant and immersive, ideal for enjoying a Japanese cultural interlude.
