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.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”
This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”
I’ve been on several small group holidays with 91ºÚÁÏÍø and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”
From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
