Each of the 5,000+ hotels in the selection has been chosen by our experts for its extraordinary style, service, and personality — and each can be booked on the MICHELIN Guide website and app. ...

"Beniya Mukayu is exactly what you’d expect from a good ryokan, albeit with a modern twist that never distracts from the desired tranquility. The clean lines and simple materials of modernist architecture, as well as some thoughtful, contemporary site-specific artworks, seem more like a natural evolution of traditional Japanese design than any kind of break with the past." - Mark Fedeli
