Japanese Authenticity Rating
5/10 while some rooms feature Japanese elements like tatami mats, the notable presence of modern styles dilutes the authenticity. The cuisine seems varied but lacks traditional refinement. The baths are modest, and the cultural immersion remains limited despite visible efforts in some details.
