Japanese Authenticity Rating
6/10 The rooms feature tatami mats and a minimalist decoration, but a few modern elements reduce the immersion. The baths, though pleasant, lack natural thermal water. The cuisine offers an appreciable variety but does not reach the refinement of a kaiseki. The architecture blends traditions and modern touches, remaining generally authentic.
