Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
9/10 Numerous traditional details highlight authenticity: Japanese architecture, tatami mats, tokonoma, and shōji. The refined cuisine embodies kaiseki while emphasizing seasonality. Charming onsen, even without a spectacular view. Immersive decorations and attention to spaces complete the experience. A modern touch barely appears.
