Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 Traveling here offers a moderate immersion in a Japanese atmosphere. The architecture blends modernity and tradition, and the rooms draw from a simple aesthetic with tatamis. The baths are attractive but without remarkable views, while the cuisine shows a beautiful intent of authenticity without completely dazzling the taste buds.
