A chapel in a windy forest of birch and moss ⛪️✨✨

Karuizawa New Art Museum opened in 2012🖼️A typical Karuizawa building made of glass with many columns, inspired by white larch🤍In this New Art Museum, a chapel designed by architect Kengo Kuma and contemporary artist Othoniel was born⛪️✨The birch and moss that continue from the outside are connected to the inside of the building through a 360-degree glass design, creating a stunning sense of unity. Othoniel's object "Gate of the Heart", in which two hearts stand as if supporting each other, is filled with the hope that passing through will strengthen the bond between the two people❤️🤍 Actual wedding ceremonies are also possible💒💕Chapel tours are held three times a day, limited to 10 people✨ Time: Three times a day, 11:00/13:00/15:00, each session lasts about 15-25 minutes Number of people: Limited to 10 people (first come, first served, closed when capacity is reached, for groups of 5 or more people) If you plan to participate in a loop, please make a reservation in advance) Admission fee: 500 yen for viewing the chapel only *Free for those who have a ticket for the 2nd floor exhibition on the day [Karuizawa New Art Museum] 1151-5 Karuizawa, Karuizawa-machi, Kitasaku-gun, Nagano 389-0102 Opening hours: 10:00-17:00 (until 18:00 from July to September) Closed: Mondays *If Monday is a public holiday, the following weekday (open all days in August) #Domestic travel #trip #Solo travel #Karuizawa #Karuizawa trip #Art museum
