Beniya Mukayu

Nestled in the mountains, Beniya Mukayu is a haven of peace with a Zen-like atmosphere. 

The ryokan, traditional Japanese inn, has 16 spacious rooms all facing to the private forest garden where the trees are enjoying their freedom to stretch out. The windows of every room are widely open towards the garden to invite nature to pour inside. All the rooms feature minimalistic contemporary interior design and private outdoor hot spring baths overlooking the garden. 

Beniya Mukayu stands on a hill of the sacred Yakushiyama, Healing Buddha’s Mountain, where in the past Buddhist monks used to cure people with hot spring baths and medicinal herbs. The Entei spa offers signature Yakushiyama treatments and amenities designed for the mental and physical health of the guests as an homage to this unique history, using hot spring water and medicinal herbs.

The Horin restaurant proposes authentic Kaga kaiseki multi-course dinner: a host of surprising dishes made with the finest locally sourced ingredients, presented in locally made elegant Kutani porcelain and Yamanaka lacquerware.

Beniya Mukayu’s guests can get in touch with local artisans in a wide range of tailor-made unique experiences, where they can try making soba noodles, kamisuki paper, lacquerware and learn more about Kaga by hiking the Ozuchi mountain, wearing kimono or savoring local roasted green tea.
