Zen calm and kaiseki in Kaga

Beniya Mukayu is a hot-spring inn on the hillside of Yakushiyama at Yamashiro Onsen in Kaga, Ishikawa, with architecture by Kiyoshi Sey Takeyama and branding by Kenya Hara, a member of Relais & Chateaux. It has 16 rooms and suites, all facing the Forest Garden and each with a private open-air hot spring bath, from Japanese and Western premier rooms to Zen-style junior and executive suites and named suites, one with a view of a century-old cherry tree.
