Japanese Authenticity Rating
6.5/10 Although the culinary experience stands out with a lovely presentation, the establishment mixes modernity and tradition, losing a bit of authenticity. The baths offer a relaxing atmosphere though without particular charm, and the rooms alternate between classic and modern styles, suiting a diverse clientele.
