SUGGESTED ACCOMMODATION

BENIYA MUKAYU, YAMASHIRO ONSEN

Few places inspire tranquillity more than Beniya Mukayu, a charming ryokan situated in the ancient spa town of Yamashiro.
BENIYA MUKAYU, YAMASHIRO ONSEN

BEAUTIFULLY MINIMALIST DÉCOR

Set in a garden of cherry, maple and camellia trees, guests can enjoy yoga, traditional tea ceremonies and their own private open-air onsen.

Beniya Mukayu, featuring clean lines, light-filled spaces and floor-to-ceiling windows, is designed to bring the natural world indoors. Built over 80 years ago and still family-operated, guests can expect a warm and attentive service. There are 17 guestrooms in total, all featuring a beautifully minimalist décor. Guests can opt for an authentic Japanese room with futons and tatami flooring or a Western-inspired room with polished wooden floors and queen beds. Or one of the luxury suites complete with living and dining areas.

Each room comes with its own private onsen, but you’ll also have exclusive use of the property’s communal indoor and outdoor hot spring baths. Said to have been discovered by a monk over 1,300 years ago, the spring waters of Yamashiro are believed to have many restorative benefits. When you’re not soaking in the springs you can enjoy a variety of tailored, guided experiences, from hiking and temple visits to cooking classes and tours of the local tea factory.

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”
We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by The Ultimate Travel Company – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.

“TAILORED TO PERFECTION”
Our holiday in Thailand was superb – custom-built exactly to our preferences. The Ultimate Travel Company were super attentive, listening carefully to what we wanted and designing an itinerary and hotel selection that really delivered. Even while we were away, they responded quickly to a query. A brilliant experience from start to finish.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”
Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.
