Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
7/10 Traditional quality maintained with rooms furnished with tatamis and futons, although some spaces have a more modern touch. The meals highlight local products but remain simple compared to refined kaiseki. The onsen offers a pleasant experience, although they lack exceptional charm.
