In Yamashiro Onsen, in Ishikawa Prefecture, Beniya Mukayu Ryokan cultivates the Japanese art of silence. Founded in 1928 and still guided by the Nakamichi family, this Relais & Châteaux ryokan embodies the idea of Mukayu, a “richness in emptiness” where free time becomes a form of luxury. Around the Forest Garden, Kiyoshi Sey Takeyama’s minimalist architecture lets wood, light, moss and the seasons enter into quiet dialogue. The 16 rooms and suites open onto nature, each with its own private open-air hot-spring bath facing the Forest Garden. The experience continues in the communal baths Gensei and Usuko, between indoor and outdoor bathing, invite to meditation and purification. At Spa Entei, signature Yakushiyama (The Healing Buddha’s Mountain) treatments based on onsen water and medicinal herbs inspired by Zen remedies, create a rare interlude devoted to body, mind and the essential.
