In 一种似曾相识的感觉, 一种 does not mean “one type of”. Removing 一种 does not seem to change anything. Comparing the following, I can’t tell any difference.

  1. 这是我第一次来苏州,却有一种似曾相识的感觉。
  2. 这是我第一次来苏州,却有似曾相识的感觉。

So what role does 一种 have?

种 is a classifier of 感觉

Example:

一种(a kind of --> uncertainty) 似曾相识的感觉

一陣(a wave of --> profound) 似曾相识的感觉

一股(a thrust of --> strong) 似曾相识的感觉

一絲絲 (a trace of --> slight) 似曾相识的感觉

More example:

有似曾相识的感觉 = have a déjà vu feel

有一种似曾相识的感觉 = have some kind of déjà vu feel (not sure what it is)

有不祥預感 = have a bad feeling

有一种不祥預感 = have some kind of bad feeling (not sure what it is)

給人淒滄的感觉 = give people a miserable feeling

給人一种淒滄的感觉 = give people a kind of miserable feeling (not sure what it is)

这是我第一次来苏州,却有一种似曾相识的感觉。

-我来苏州,有感觉。 一种 --> counter 这是我第一次来苏州,却有种似曾相识的感觉。 -->这是我第五次来苏州,却没有那种似曾相识的感觉。
