Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
7/10 A pleasant overall immersion with a successful combination of modernity and tradition. The spaces offer a visual balance between minimalist design and comfort. The baths, though charming, lack a unique touch. The gastronomy highlights local products with notable care, and the ambiance of the rooms is refined.
