2/10 Oriented towards a functional and modern style, this establishment seems to focus on practical amenities with neutral rooms, minimalist decoration, and a lack of traditional elements, in terms of architecture and atmosphere. The culinary aspect and baths also lack strong indications of immersive Japanese traditions.
