Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
7/10 Elegant combination of modern and traditional elements, with typical rooms and impeccable comfort. The culinary experience is generally satisfying but lacks a bit of refinement. The baths, although present and pleasant, are relatively standard. A beautiful getaway in Japan to discover a blend of modernity and tradition.
