7/10 Something charming emerges from this place, harmoniously blending Japanese tradition and modern touches. While the design sometimes strays from strict codes, the atmosphere remains soothing. The baths offer a pleasant, but not exceptional experience. The gastronomy seems well-crafted, and the rooms exude minimalist elegance.
