The reason I searched and wanted to go here was because it was an art museum designed by Tadao Ando, ​​and I really wanted to see it. He designed the entire art museum with his unique exposed concrete.

I recently visited the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art, a beautiful place near Nada Station that is truly astonishing! This building is considered a symbol of recovery from the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, and since its opening in 2002, it has been attracting many visitors. The Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art was designed by the famous Japanese architect Tadao Ando, with a building area of about 28,000 square meters, making it one of the largest structures in the western region. Facing the sea, it is filled with the unique aspects of Ando's architectural style, and every corner is a perfect spot for photography. On the museum's rooftop, the work 'Kobe Frog' by Dutch artist Florentijn Hoffmann is displayed, becoming one of the symbols of the museum. In addition, the exhibition rooms house a collection of over 10,000 works of art from Japan and abroad, including works by artists related to Hyogo Prefecture. After visiting the museum, you can relax in the restaurant and café, enjoying delicious cuisine. Why not try the 'Kobe Deluxe Pork Cutlet' or the 'Tajima Beef Minced Meat Cutlet Lunch' at Restaurant Fortissimo, while admiring the sea view outside the window. In this place full of artistic atmosphere, you can enjoy good food, appreciate artworks, and have a pleasant time with friends and family. It is definitely a recommended travel destination!

[Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art] I visited the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art. The most famous of these is the "Blue Apple" at the "Ando Gallery." This object was designed by the world-famous architect Tadao Ando as a "symbol of youth." The actual object was very large, about twice as tall as me. There were also many other interactive exhibits that were very enjoyable. Place: Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art Address: 1-1-1 Wakihama Kaigandori, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo 651-0073 #museum #TadaoAndo

#cherryblossom25 I recommend this self-discovered route for an incredible cherry blossom experience: Kobe Cherry Blossom Tunnel → Kobe Oji Zoo → Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art 🌸 Kobe Cherry Blossom Tunnel It’s definitely worth a visit! 📍 Location: Grands States Rokko Sakura Street. You can take a bus to a nearby spot and then walk to the tunnel. The entire road is lined with cherry blossoms. Be careful when taking photos, as cars will pass through the tunnel. At first, I thought I was blocking someone’s way because a car stopped for a while at the top, and I tried to step aside, almost pressing against the wall. But then I noticed the driver was taking photos with an Olympus film camera. It turns out, nobody can resist a spring tunnel with half cherry blossoms and half the sea! 🌸🌊 🦁 Kobe Oji Zoo A hidden gem! There were hardly any visitors when I arrived around noon, only a few kindergarten teachers playing with their kids. I casually found a cherry blossom tree, set up my tripod, and slowly took photos. This zoo has many cherry trees that are fully bloomed and hang low, so you can freely take pictures without worrying about disturbing others. 🎨 Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art Designed by the famous architect Tadao Ando! I only visited the free regular exhibition, where you can learn about Ando’s design philosophy and background. If you’re into architecture or design, you absolutely cannot miss this! Don’t forget to head upstairs to capture some cool shots of the Green Apple sculpture. 🍏 #travel

#Osaka Itinerary In the morning, I visited the Nakanoshima Museum of Art. This museum, which opened in recent years, attracts countless art lovers with its unique black cube architecture. The museum houses a large collection of modern and contemporary art works, ranging from Osaka’s urban memories to the exploration of Japanese aesthetics, and each exhibit tells a unique story. I strolled through the exhibition hall, surrounded by the artistic atmosphere, and felt the creativity and cultural heritage of this city. In the afternoon, I took the train to the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art in Kobe. The museum building was designed by Tadao Ando. The simple concrete structure and the scenery of the Seto Inland Sea complement each other, showing an extremely harmonious beauty. The museum exhibits a wealth of modern art works, whether it is sculptures, paintings or installation art, each work is thought-provoking. I stood on the terrace, gazing at the sea and sky, feeling the beauty of the fusion of art and nature. At this moment, it seemed as if the whole world had become quiet and pure.

What's fun in Kobe? Isn't it just Qingdao… “What's fun in Kobe? Isn't it just Qingdao?” It's Qingdao, it's Dalian, it's Hong Kong, but it just can't be Kobe… For adults, not being a killjoy is basic courtesy. The meaning of travel has increasingly become a matter of personal taste and niche hobbies. 🇯🇵If you've done even simple research, you'll know that Kobe is a coastal city with Suma Beach🏝️, the million-dollar night view of Mount Rokko and Mount Maya🌃, Kobe beef, and Arima Onsen. But if you dig a little deeper, you'll discover that Kobe is an old industrial city where most shopkeepers don't speak English, and drugstores have "Help Wanted" signs seeking bilingual staff. You have to go up Mount Maya and Mount Rokko early and come down early, or you'll miss the last train and have to walk down a dark mountain path. At the port, you can even see remnants of 1990s corporations— like the city itself, old but respectable, allowing you to imagine the prosperity and boom here during the economic heyday. Just ticking off tourist spots will only leave you thinking, "Oh, that's it?" But if you stay overnight, you might just unveil Kobe's hidden curtain. It's the glowing sea at Maiko Marine Promenade🌊, the tourist boats waiting at the port🚢, the Suma sunset reflecting on your face🌇, the aroma of fried croquettes wafting from the station kiosk🍘, the slow arrival of the train🚈, crows scattering and shaking the overhead wires, and elderly Japanese men and women nodding to you on the downhill path👵. ♨️At night, slide open the wooden door, and the hot spring well cover in the courtyard steams, the medicinal waters washing away the day's fatigue. As you gaze out the window at the darkening streets, you've truly arrived in Kobe. There's no set itinerary for Kobe. If you only have one day, go to the beach if you like the sea, or stroll up the mountain if you like night views. 🌌"Speed is the form of ecstasy, and slowness is linked to memory" - Milan Kundera Tips:🌟From Osaka Station, take the JR Tokaido-Sanyo Main Line (Special Rapid Service, Okayama/Himeji direction) for about 35-40 minutes directly to Suma Station. Suma Seaside Park: A 5-minute walk, offering sea views and beaches, ideal for photos. Sumadera Temple (15-minute walk) has cherry blossoms in spring. Recommended one-way route: From Suma Station, walk or cycle eastward along the coast, passing the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge observation point, gradually moving towards Nada Station. ⚠️Transfer: Suma Station → Nada Station JR Train: From Suma Station, take the JR Sanyo Line (Osaka direction) to Nada Station, about a 10-minute ride (Special Rapid Service), frequent departures. 🚇Return: Nada Station → Osaka Station Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art: About a 10-minute walk from Nada Station, an architectural marvel designed by Tadao Ando, with a highlight being the ocean-view terrace (Open: 10:00-18:00, closed Mondays). 🚃: Suica card can be used throughout. 🗺️Google Maps

The museum's treasure, the green apple sculpture "Youth," is on the roof and is a must-see photo spot! 📍Ikuta Shrine: I passed by it on my way to Kitano Ijinkan Street, and it was a pleasant surprise! It is famous for its effective prayers for marriage, and even the famous Japanese artist Norika Fujiwara held her wedding here! It was the only building that remained intact during the 1995 earthquake, so it is also known for resurrection and rebirth! 📍Kitano Ijinkan Street: One of Kobe's iconic attractions.

📍Hyogo, Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art is one of the largest museums in western Japan, and is celebrating its 20th anniversary since its opening. It has now become one of the landmarks of Hyogo! In addition, there are many points inside and outside the museum where you can feel close to art! First of all, the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art was designed by the world-famous architect Tadao Ando. You can enjoy the architectural style of this building, which effectively uses exposed concrete and light. First, head to the mountain-side entrance between the first exhibition building and the gallery building. The gap between the huge buildings is like the bottom of a deep valley, and invites you into the museum with an exciting feeling as if you have wandered into a temple in a foreign country. The most popular of the many exhibits is the giant green apple! This is an object that Ando designed and donated in 2019, inspired by the American poet Samuel Ullman's "Poem of Youth." Next to it are Ando's words, "What we are aiming for is not the spirit of a sweet, ripe red apple, but the spirit of a green apple that, even though it is unripe and sour, is full of hope for tomorrow. (Excerpt)," which gives a sense of Ando's passion for his creations. Of course, photography is allowed here as a photo spot, and the majority of visitors take their special shots here. #0YenTravelJanuary2025

The museum was almost empty, quiet, and free, allowing us to slowly enjoy the artworks. Students get in for free, and seniors over 60 get half-price admission. This time, the exhibition showcased the changes in the city 30 years after the Great Hanshin Earthquake. We saw old tape recorders, broadcasts from air-raid shelters, and Windows 98 computers. Unfortunately, we arrived too late, and by the time we finished the exhibition, it was already dark, so we could only take pictures of the riverside night view.

|Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art. Designed by Tadao Ando, the museum is free to enter except for the special exhibition area. The free areas include the seaside square and the green apple on the roof. 🍏 🐸 The frog on the roof has recently deflated and seems to be broken. The photos are very beautiful when the weather is good. 📸 Today, I met a group of people taking photos 📸. There were many people waiting in line behind them, but they still took photos as they pleased. After taking photos, they were not satisfied and continued to take more. This is really not good. 🚇 Take the subway to Nada or Iwaya and walk for 10 minutes. The museum is closed on Mondays, so don't go there on that day.

This is a masterpiece whose architecture is even more famous than its exhibits. Tadao Ando pays great attention to the use of natural light. Through precisely designed windows and wall cuts, he brings natural light into the building, creating unique light and shadow effects. The smooth and delicate concrete surface gives the building warmth and vitality. The art museum is located on Wakihama Kaigan-dori, Chuo-ku, Kobe City, close to the sea and has an excellent view. The roof of the museum features the "Kobe Frog" designed by Dutch artist Florentijn Hoffmann, which has become the museum's iconic attraction. In addition, the "Green Apple" sculpture on the "Ocean Deck" is also a design masterpiece by Tadao Ando, ​​symbolizing youth and hope. #100 Ways to Travel

Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art It takes about 10 minutes on foot from JR Nada Station!
