Thanks for the beautiful memories Kanazawa
Designed by Kenya Hara and belonging to the exclusive collection of Relais & Châteaux hotels and restaurants, Beniya Mukayu must be one of the most beautiful spaces I have ever spent time in. In keeping with its motto, "Open air, open space," the amount of balance in its aesthetics and the serenity in the experience is like none other. We spent a weekend here, as well as exploring the small city of Kanazawa in celebration of my father-in-law's 70th birthday celebration. For anyone who appreciates design and beauty in the smallest details, I think it would make for the perfect honeymoon or even a solo getaway trip – I recommend this city and experience wholeheartedly.
