Japanese Authenticity Rating
5.5/10 This establishment blends tradition and modernity, offering rooms with tatami mats but sometimes overly simple design. The bath areas lack charm and the culinary experience remains to be discovered. Pleasant but simply functional ambiance, with partial respect for authentic Japanese standards.
