"Yunami" was created by renovating the traditional Japanese house "Shiota Residence," which was built about 100 years ago.The old wooden building, which has continued to reflect the lives of people and the bonds of the community, brings a sense of tranquility when you immerse yourself in its charm and the passage of time.The exterior, based on white and black to blend with the surrounding nature, feels like a hidden retreat.It is a quiet residence surrounded by trees that change their expression with each season.
Benesse House opened in 1992 as a facility combining a museum and hotel under the concept of 'harmony among nature, architecture, and art.' The facility includes four distinct accommodation buildings: the 'Museum,' where you can stay inside the museum; the 'Oval,' offering breathtaking views of the Seto Inland Sea; the 'Park,' surrounded by sea, greenery, and art; and the 'Beach,' enveloped by the sound of gentle waves. Additionally, it features restaurants, cafes, a spa, and shops.All the architecture is designed by Tadao Ando and is structured to harmonize with the environment of the Setonaikai National Park over time.The long slopes, stairs, passageways, and natural light pouring through framed openings invite guests to a unique experience of engaging with contemporary art throughout the facility. On Rakuten Travel, rooms in the newly established 'Park' and 'Beach' buildings, added in 2006, are available.For check-in at either accommodation building, please proceed to the 'Park' front desk.
