Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 The atmosphere blends warm modernity with tradition, featuring obvious Japanese elements. Although the meals seem well-crafted and representative, the onsen area also benefits from beautiful natural integration. The rooms offer partial immersion, but some details reveal a notable Western influence in the overall design.
