Japanese Authenticity Assessment
5.5/10 There is a beautiful fusion of modernity and tradition in the decor, but the architecture lacks a bit of authenticity. The outdoor onsens add a relaxing experience, although they are slightly standardized. The cuisine seems tasty but not entirely representative of a refined kaiseki. The ambiance of the rooms succeeds in transporting to a certain extent.
