Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Nice mix of traditional and modern elements with well-presented tatamis and shōji. The cuisine, although simple, lacks refinement. The onsen is functional but not exceptional. The rooms have pleasant and authentic decoration, but some modern amenities slightly reduce the immersion.
