Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6.5/10 Warm immersion thanks to tatamis and traditional touches, but a sometimes contemporary design dilutes the authenticity. The cuisine is well-crafted, though not very inventive. The baths, modern and functional, lack natural hot springs. The rooms offer a pleasant Japanese ambiance, though a bit neutral for full immersion.
