Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Some traditional elements, like tatamis and baths, recall Japanese authenticity, but modern influence is present in the architecture and decor. The cuisine is varied but lacks deep authenticity and the classic elegance of kaiseki. The overall experience remains pleasant but not completely immersive.
