Japanese Authenticity Evaluation

6/10 Pleasant immersion thanks to a setting mixing nature, well-maintained gardens, and some traditional design elements. However, the rooms and infrastructures show a strong modern influence, reducing authenticity. Cuisine and onsen seem absent or not highlighted, limiting the typically Japanese experience.
