My favorite place in Japan by Kaori
11.27.2021

My favorite place to visit is an island in Shikoku called Naoshima. My favorite architect, Tadao Ando, revived the entire island as a major art project. He invited artists from all over the world to stay on the island and create artworks based on the inspiration they received. Ando-san has built a hotel and a museum by combining nature and architecture.
I went to Naoshima when it was just making its debut as an art island. Everything on the island was wonderful, and the drama with the staff of the newly built hotel over a cat was an irreplaceable memory.
