Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 Featuring onsen with a magnificent view and rooms decorated with a mix of traditional and modern elements, the establishment presents an attempt at balance. The cuisine, although local, lacks the sophistication typical of a Kaiseki. The architecture tends towards a certain modernity, slightly distant from traditional codes.
