Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 A pleasant blend of modern and traditional elements offers a comfortable but slightly Westernized experience. The baths, though pleasant, lack a distinct charm. The cuisine seems adequate without reaching peaks of authenticity. The rooms offer a satisfying ambiance with Japanese touches, but a bit limited in immersion. A pleasant destination despite some improvable aspects.
