Tucked deep within the forests of Kaga Onsen, Beniya Mukayu is a serene retreat shaped by Japanese tradition and Zen philosophy. Minimalist suites are designed to harmonise with nature, featuring tatami floors, futon bedding, and private open-air onsens overlooking the lush Forest Garden. Mindfulness is woven into every stay, from traditional tea ceremonies to spa treatments that draw on local ingredients and the region’s renowned hot spring waters. Dining is equally considered, with seasonal kaiseki cuisine celebrating the purity and provenance of local produce. Thoughtfully designed and deeply restorative, Beniya Mukayu offers an escape that captures the essence of Japanese hospitality and the quiet beauty of its natural surroundings.
