Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Featuring a mixture of modernity and tradition, the place offers rooms equipped with tatamis and a beautiful view. However, the architecture lacks authenticity. The cuisine includes typical dishes but without great sophistication. The baths, although present, do not appear to be natural onsen.
