Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6.5/10 Despite a design marrying tradition and modernity, the refined culinary experience and the authenticity of the onsen bath enrich the stay. The rooms harmoniously mix modern and traditional elements, although some perspectives lack traditional depth. A pleasant balance for a sympathetic but slightly Westernized immersion.
