It is hard to find old towns in many cities in Japan. The towns and districts listed below survived natural disasters, fires, and/or redevelopment over the centuries in some part by luck and in part by the effort of residents. If you are interested in enjoying a historical atmosphere, why don’t you add these places to your itinerary?

The Japanese ryokan might be the highest form of hospitality, but it's not a hotel. For the owners of Beniya Mukayu, it's important that you understand why.
Ryokans are the last word in luxury rest and relaxation in Japan. They are traditional style inns devoted to...

Beniya is one of the more elegant riverside restaurants in the quaint riverside town of Kibune, where you can dine on rivertop platforms in the warm months.
Japan is renowned for its exceptional ryokans, offering a unique and immersive experience in traditional Japanese hospitality. Some of the best ryokans in Japan include Gion Hatanaka in Kyoto, known for its elegant ambiance and gourmet cuisine; Fuji Kawaguchiko Onsen Konanso in Yamanashi, offering breathtaking views of Mount Fuji and therapeutic hot spring baths; and Zaborin in Hokkaido, a luxurious retreat nestled in nature with private open-air baths.

At first, my interest in staying at Beniya Mukayu peaked when I imagined the chance to stay in a luxurious hotel, unwind with nothing to do, and soak in hot spring water privately, without having to get nude in front of strangers (haha but serious). Of course it was relaxing to stay there after 8...

There's nothing more relaxing than a luxurious stay in a traditional ryokan. If you're looking for Japan's best ryokan, here are our picks.
It's funny the things we see on travel blogs that capture our imagination and make us want to visit a place. When our friend L'Ell lived in Japan, she kept a fantastic blog that detailed her many adventures in "the land of the rising fun" (as we referred to it). She saw and did so many incredible things, but one completely random thing stuck in my mind as the thing that I *had* to do when we made it to Japan. That thing was nagashi somen.

It’s natural enough to think of traditional culture and modern design as being polar opposites, but in places like Italy or Japan, where the past seems always to be present, the story is a bit more complicated. Beniya Mukayu, an hour’s drive from the city of Kanazawa, is a case in point. Here, visual style notwithstanding, the experience is exactly what you’d expect from a good ryokan, while 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. That classic experience means a serene immersion in a tranquil natural setting, along with a more literal immersion in the onsen baths, as well as a lavish multi-course kaiseki dinner. What you want is a place where you’re happy to shut yourself away, and this most definitely fits the bill. There’s no reason why a bit of modernist furniture should take anything away from the mood — and if Western architects are still using Zen metaphors to explain the appeal of minimalist interior design, Beniya Mukayu is proof that the two traditions are even closer than we think. Please note: Children under the age of 7 cannot be accommodated. How to get there: From Komatsu Airport (KMQ), the trip to Beniya Mukaya takes about 30 minutes by road. The hotel offers airport transfers to and from Komatsu Airport as well as a complimentary shuttle service to and from Kagaonsen train station.
