<div class="diveval">
<h2 class="titreeval" style="color: var(--primary-color);font-size: 20px">Japanese Authenticity Evaluation</h2>
<span class="noteauth"><b>7/10</b></span> Great attention to traditional details in the rooms and baths with a view, but a modern exterior architecture slightly diminishes the authenticity. The culinary offer is diverse but falls short of the elegance of a true kaiseki. Authentic atmosphere but influenced by modern elements.
