Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 Mostly faithful to the Japanese style, this establishment offers rooms enhanced with traditional tatamis and futons. The onsen seems modest but charming, with a rustic touch. However, a few modern elements lessen the total immersion. The culinary offer appears decent but would benefit from a more authentic attention to complete the experience.
