Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
8/10 Its spaces harmoniously combine tradition and modernity with tatami rooms and shōji. The onsen offers a breathtaking view and adds exceptional quality. The cuisine highlights Japanese flavors, although a more refined effort in Kaiseki would have perfected the experience. The rooms, modern, remain warm and well-designed.
