Oval

Standing on a hill and reached by monorail from the museum, this space has just six guestrooms, featuring a fusion of Setouchi's natural beauty with Ando's architecture. Vast floor-to-ceiling windows in the guestroom offer a sweeping view of the Inland Sea, and the walls of some of the guestrooms are decorated with drawings created by the artists.
* Access to Benesse House Oval is limited to the guests staying in Oval.
