Japanese Authenticity Rating
6/10 While offering splendid views and pleasant facilities, the mix of modern and traditional elements lacks coherence. The dinners offered add a local touch but do not fully reflect the richness of kaiseki. The onsen space remains functional but unremarkable compared to more luxurious options.
