Benesse House, opened in 1992, is an accommodation that integrates a museum and a hotel under the concept of "Coexistence of Nature, Architecture, and Art." The property features four distinct accommodation buildings: "Museum," where you can stay inside the museum; "Oval," offering breathtaking views of the Seto Inland Sea; "Park," surrounded by sea, greenery, and art; and "Beach," enveloped by the sound of gentle waves. Additionally, it includes a restaurant, café, spa, and shop. All architecture was designed by Tadao Ando to harmonize with the environment of Setonaikai National Park over time. The long slopes, stairs, pathways for movement within the facility, and natural light streaming through framed openings invite guests to experience contemporary art with their entire being.

Surrounded by the rich natural beauty of the sea and mountains. Architecture and furniture born from handcrafted artistry. This is not a glamorous or convenient place. There’s no phone signal, no TV, and no Wi-Fi. It’s located at the end of a steep hill, and nights are pitch dark. However, we take pride in our baths. Indoors, you’ll find a bath meticulously crafted by skilled artisans through repeated effort and polishing to perfection. Outdoors, we offer another option—a cypress open-air bath for your enjoyment. Close your eyes, listen to the sound of waves or birdsong as you immerse yourself in water. At night, under a sky full of stars, let yourself be enveloped by the soothing scent of cypress wood.And then there’s the sea stretching out before you. The tranquil evening glow paints an emotional scene at sunset; at night, moonlight reflects on the water creating a path of light across its surface. On cloudy or rainy mornings shrouded in misty air—ships passing through seem as though they’re gliding across the sky itself.We hope to guide our guests into this way of life here with us.There are no grand celebrations prepared nor lavish hospitality offered.Instead—we wish simply share what feels truly special even after experiencing it daily: "cherished simplicity."Heima means "home" in Icelandic—a place that might become someone’s home for their heart here too someday!
