Japanese Authenticity Evaluation

6/10 The establishment offers a beautiful view and a pleasant atmosphere mixed with modern touches. However, traditional Japanese authenticity seems limited, particularly in the design, which is more contemporary. Meals are well presented, but the level of refinement expected from a perfect kaiseki is missing. The baths offer a relaxing setting, but without remarkable specificity.
