Beniya Mukayu

Japan is a most fascinating country. Its volcanic and volatile earth is in contrast to its Zen philosophy- which helps to refocus on the true things in life. The splendid Ryokan Beniya Mukayu is inspired by this Zen philosophy. Here- beauty is implicit and suggested in the interplay of shadow and light- the neutral colors of the rooms and the splendor of the surroundings. Built in 1929 in the spa town of Yamashiro- this hotel is a true invitation to Zen. The 17 rooms- in Japanese or Western style- are havens of peace that look out onto a Japanese garden- a work of art to be savored while strolling along the white path. The traditional tea ceremony is performed by the owner- yoga classes are given by his wife- and the spa and bubbling Jacuzzi invite you to sample the art of bathing. Beniya Mukaya is a slice of paradise in the land of the rising sun. CLUB 5C- Hotel welcomes Relais and Chateaux Club 5C members with a VIP Welcome and a Discovery Privilege.
