About
Benesse House is a unique fusion of museum and hotel designed by Tadao Ando. Artworks by Andy Warhol, David Hockney, and Yayoi Kusama are displayed throughout the building and grounds. Overnight guests have the museum to themselves after hours.
Crowd Avoidance
Visit on weekday mornings right at opening. Avoid rainy days when indoor attractions get busier. Book timed-entry tickets when available.
