Japanese Authenticity Assessment
1/10 Lacking tatami mats and classic elements, the traditional atmosphere is almost absent. The architecture is mostly modern, the rooms evoke a Western interior, and no signs of onsen or authentic gastronomy are apparent. Simplicity dominates, without real immersion in Japanese culture.
