Classic Japan

Hidden among the forested hills of Yamashiro Onsen, just outside Kanazawa, Beniya Mukayu is a sanctuary of meditative calm. Designed by architect Kiyoshi Sey Takeyama, it blends Zen simplicity with warm minimalism — all light woods, open space, and private outdoor baths. It’s not just a stay — it’s an immersion in Japanese philosophy, hospitality, and stillness.

Nestled in the serene Hida Takayama Onsen area, Hidatei Hanaougi is a refined ryokan that seamlessly blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern comforts. The property features private open-air hot spring baths, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the therapeutic waters sourced directly from the ryokan’s own spring. The ryokan’s design emphasises natural materials and craftsmanship, creating an atmosphere of understated luxury and tranquility.

Resting on the banks of the Kamogawa River, The Ritz-Carlton Kyoto blends the refined lines of a traditional machiya townhouse with the polish of world-class service. Suites open onto river views and private gardens, while interiors celebrate artisanal Kyoto craftsmanship — from lacquered wood to washi textures. It’s modern Kyoto elegance with deep cultural roots.

Hilton Hiroshima is a contemporary high-rise hotel in the heart of the city, offering modern comfort, panoramic urban views, and easy access to Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park and cultural landmarks. With refined design, spacious rooms, and extensive facilities, it serves as a stylish base for both business and leisure stays.
