Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity

6/10 Rich in traditional elements with rooms featuring tatamis but blending modern aspects. The meals, although decent, lack authenticity and Kaiseki refinement. The baths, although present, remain simple and without exceptional attributes. The ambiance provides a good balance between tradition and functionality.
