Hareto’s Take
The Hareto Score of 86 is a provisional editorial score based on listing information, not a firsthand inspection. Treat this as a dedicated appointment rather than a quick tea stop. Ask about seated meditation and accessibility before booking. Leave enough travel time for Iwakura, especially when combining it with another reservation.
