Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
5/10 Although modern and aesthetically pleasing, the architecture and design deviate from traditional Japanese codes. The baths offer a comfortable experience but lack onsen authenticity. The cuisine, well presented, seems primarily international. The rooms, well equipped, do not fully recreate the atmosphere of a classic ryokan.
