Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
8/10 Lovely setting combining authentic elements and modern touches. Carefully crafted cuisine with Kaiseki inspirations, highlighting fresh products. The rooms are well decorated with tatami and futons, creating a pleasant ambiance. The onsen, though interesting, remains simple, without ceremonial or remarkable specificity.
