Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
5/10 Transformed with traditional touches, the ambiance sometimes lacks Japanese uniqueness. The rooms offer soothing modesty with tatamis, but the overall environment combines varied styles. The onsen adds a pleasant, though ordinary, experience, while the culinary offer would deserve more attention to embrace the authentic sophistication of Japan.
