Walk Japan’s Kengo Kuma Architect – Yusahara, Japan
This walk leads us through rice terraces and a quiet village and down into Yusuhara. En route, we visit the Kumo-no-Ue-no-Gallery designed by Kengo Kuma, one of Japan’s top architects.
Kuma is renowned for reinterpreting traditional Japanese wooden
construction methods. He relates that his inspiration for this comes from first visiting Yusuhara in the 1980s. Besides his gallery there are four more
intriguing buildings designed by him in Yusuhara one of them being the Kino-Machi Hall (Town Hall). The Largest scaled “Wooden” Town Hall in Japan.
We were then treated to our own private performance by tour guide Nic playing his Shakuhachi.
