Beniya Mukayu

The Accommodation’s calm atmosphere, the cuisine, and the baths were all wonderful, but what impressed me most was the exceptional hospitality of the staff. Everyone we spoke with combined deep knowledge with warm, attentive service, making our stay truly comfortable. I initially wondered if this trip might be a bit luxurious for traveling with my three underage sons, but they seemed to experience what true quality means, and I am now wholeheartedly satisfied.

We stayed here as a couple.Rather than a Ryokan, the property felt like a museum—an expansive space with calmness and refined elegance.Wood is used generously throughout, and the air carried a clean, distinctly Japanese scent reminiscent of hinoki cypress and herbs.It was clear that everything is meticulously maintained; the Room, lobby, and large public bath were all very clean, making our stay refreshing and comfortable.Every meal was delicious, but the charcoal-grilled ayu (sweetfish) and the takikomi rice with abalone and turban shell were outstanding. Not only the luxurious dishes impressed us—the simple steamed vegetables at breakfast also left a strong impression, with their natural sweetness shining through.We also appreciated that plenty of towels and bath towels were provided in both the large public bath and the open-air bath in our Room, so we could bathe as many times as we liked in complete comfort.It was such a wonderful experience that we would gladly make “staying at Muka-yu” the purpose of our trip itself.Thank you very much.
