Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
7/10 Great attention to integrating traditional Japanese style, with exceptional views and a soothing ambiance. The cuisine is appealing and varied, although it lacks standout Kaiseki elements. The baths are charming but some aspects could be more immersive for an authentic onsen experience.
