Admire the architecture by Ando Tadao

Spacious halls and decks along with huge stairs rise facing the sea all give a sense of openness. A terrace and sloped paths make the space look like a work of sculpture. You can fully appreciate the great architecture of Ando Tadao here. The contrast between light and shadow is created inside the building, which changes the appearance depending on time of day and season. Enjoy the architectural beauty of this place.
