Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
9/10 Many typically Japanese details, harmoniously blending traditional architecture, sumptuous kaiseki, and soothing baths, reinforce a unique cultural immersion. The rooms, although warm, present a subtle contemporary touch, but this does not detract from the overall authenticity of the experience.
