Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Nice blend of modern and traditional elements, but the authenticity remains mixed. The rooms offer Japanese touches, but some modern concessions are visible. The cuisine highlights well-crafted dishes, and the baths, while enjoyable, lack the sparkle compared to traditional standards.
