The only residential project by Frand Lloyd Wright in Japan.

The Yodoko Guest House is the only residential project by architectural master Frand Lloyd Wright in Japan, built in 1924. It was completed earlier than Wright's representative work, "Fallingwater". Unlike the modernist use of concrete, the entire building uses local "Oya stone" as raw material, creating a rough style. Similar to "Fallingwater", both were built along the mountains and rivers, taking advantage of the terrain, which is similar to the Chinese concept of "adapting measures to local conditions". This means that when you leave Hankyu Ashiya Station and head to the Yodoko Guest House, the entire building does not suddenly appear in the distance, but gradually appears as the slope increases.
