Built on a gentle slope surrounded by the nature of the Seto Inland Sea, this is one of the few wooden buildings by Ando.
From the verandas of the guest rooms, you can see outdoor artworks scattered across the green lawn and the Seto Inland Sea, with the mountains of Shikoku and the blue sky beyond. The hotel also features an art space designed by the artist himself, a lounge available only to guests staying at the hotel, a terrace restaurant, a shop, and a park hall that can accommodate up to 120 people.
Benesse House Park can be booked with Timbuktu as part of a tailor-made Japan trip, rather than as a standalone room reservation.

Stays at Benesse House Park start from around $380, or US$380, per person per night as part of a tailor-made trip. The exact price depends on your travel dates, room type and the shape of the rest of your itinerary. A Timbuktu travel specialist can give you an accurate quote for your dates.
