Stayed (3 nights) at Benesse House - Museum side. They didnt let me take the funicular to the top level like they did first time I stayed (1 night). Def stay for >1 nights. It was a lovely experience, simple design, elegant, Ando building; we went w/ an architect friend and he marveled at the construction. His partner is an artist, she loved it.

Food was good - pricey, and a little fancy so much that we had to go to town to eat simpler stuff. Not necessarily great teenager or kids food tho!
