Japanese Authenticity Rating
6/10 Although the architecture harmoniously combines traditional and modern elements, the culinary immersion lacks a bit of refinement. The rooms, elegant and comfortable, offer an authentic Japanese ambiance, but the bath experience remains modest. A charming compromise between tradition and modernity, but not entirely immersive.
