Benesse House

Park

Built on a gentle slope and surrounded by the natural beauty of Setouchi, this is one of the rare wooden buildings designed by Ando. The guestroom verandas look out across the lush green lawn dotted with open-air artwork to the Inland Sea, with the mountains of Shikoku standing against the blue sky on the far shore. Inside, there are art spaces created by the artists, an exclusive lounge for guests at Park, the Terrace Restaurant, shops, and the Park Hall, which is capable of accommodating up to 120 guests.
