(Translated by Google) Kengo Kuma was also in charge of the design and construction of the town hall. Yusuhara-cho has many Kengo Kuma buildings, and the town is like a small museum☺️ (Original) ここの役場の設計建築も隈研吾さんが担当しました。檮原町は隈研吾さんの建物がたくさんあり町が小さなミュージアムみたいです☺️

(Translated by Google) The wooden structure is no joke... You can feel the power of the huge wooden girder. I can't go in because it's the weekend. The design of the district office exceeds imagination. (Original) 목구조가 장난아니다.. 초거대 목조 거더의 힘이 느껴짐. 주말이어서 못들어가봄. 구청 설계가 상상을 넘는다.

(Translated by Google) I wanted to see the inside, but the appearance is also wonderful! A design that uses plenty of wood like Japan. Made of laminated material to increase strength and make columns and beams. The building of the government office is made into a place of relaxation for the common people by using warm wood. Nowadays, the trees are being reviewed and the number of wooden buildings is gradually increasing. There is no shadow to see trees in ordinary houses. Wood grain pattern on the sheet. An era when the real thing loses to the fake. For the forerunner of an era in which the true essence will be demonstrated! (Original) 中も見学したかったが外観も素晴らしいの一言！ 日本らしく木をふんだんに使うデザイン。 積層材にし強度を高め柱に梁に。 役所の建物を温かみのある木を使うことで庶民の憩いの場に。 今では木が見直され少しずつ木造建築が多くはなっているが、 一般住宅には木は見る影もない。 シートに木目柄。 本物が偽物に負ける時代。 これからが本物の本質を発揮する時代の先駆けに！

(Translated by Google) City Hall, the face of Yusuhara Town, built by Kengo Kuma At first glance, it doesn't really look like a city hall... I've been to several city halls and offices in my hometown, and they're extremely nice. The pleasant smell of wood made me feel at ease. (Original) 隈研吾さんの建築　梼原町の顔となる市役所 一見、とても市役所には見えず… 我が地元など市役所や、役場はいくつか見てきましたが、抜群に素敵です 木材の心地よい薫りに安心する気持ちになりました

(Translated by Google) The town hall of Yusuhara Town is deep in the mountains of Kochi, in the Shikoku Mountains, far from the city where buildings by the contemporary architect Kengo Kuma are gathered. It's truly amazing that a city like this was created by having the same architect participate in the city planning, and I admire their foresight. Even though it is suffering from depopulation, a town has been created that is not lonely and attracts visitors from all over the country. In a sense, this may be a model case for local governments suffering from depopulation. (Original) 今を時めく建築家の隈研吾氏の建築が集まる都会から遠く離れた四国山地・高知の山奥の梼原町の町役場。同じ建築家に街づくりに参加してもらってこのような街ができたこと、本当にすごいし、先見性に頭が下がります。過疎に悩んでいても全国から訪れる人がいる寂しくない町が出来上がった。ある意味過疎に悩む自治体のモデルケースではないだろうか。

(Translated by Google) Visited on 2023.05. One of Kengo Kuma's architectural group. Although it is a government office, it is a building that is common to other places. The atmosphere is nice. The tourist association and Yusuharaza are right in front of it. (Original) 2023.05訪問。 隈研吾氏の建築群の一つ。 役所ですが、他のところと共通する建物。 雰囲気いいですね。 真ん前には観光協会やゆすはら座があります。

(Translated by Google) One of several buildings in Yusuhara Town designed by Kengo Kuma. You can freely tour the hall on the first floor. You can leave your car at the town hall parking lot and walk from the town hall to explore Marche Yusuhara, the library above the clouds, another Kengo Kuma building. (Original) 梼原町にいくつかある隈研吾氏による建築物のひとつ。一階のホールは自由に見学できます。 役場駐車場に車を置いて、役場を起点に徒歩で、他の隈研吾建築の、雲の上の図書館、マルシェユスハラを巡ることができます。

(Translated by Google) It is a place where you can feel the energy of Yusuhara. It has a lively atmosphere that doesn't give off the gloom that is common in regions facing depopulation problems. The modern government building that Kengo Kuma worked on has many young people working there and visitors, so it doesn't feel like it's aging. Yusuhara's compulsory education system is very unique, with a 4:3:2 system for elementary and middle school. Perhaps because of this, there are many people moving here, and under the system to promote migration by renovating vacant houses, it is so popular that most of the more than 40 rental houses have already been occupied. I was able to learn about the history of Yusuhara at the History and Folklore Museum located right in front of the government building, and once I learned about it, I fell in love with this town even more. (Original) 梼原の元気が感じられる場所です。過疎化の問題を抱える地方にありがちな暗さを感じさせない活気があります。隈研吾さんが関わったモダンな庁舎は、働く職員さんも訪ねる来客者も若い方が多く、高齢化を感じさせません。 梼原の義務教育は小中一貫で４:３:２制ととてもユニーク。そんな事もあってか移住者も多いらしくて、空き家をリノベーションして移住を促進する制度では、40棟以上ある貸し出し家屋もほぼ入居済みという人気ぶりです。 庁舎のすぐ前にある歴史民族資料館では、梼原の歴史を学ぶことができて、それを知るとますますこの町が好きになりました。

(Translated by Google) One of the series of works by master Kengo Kuma is the town hall. The outside is a classic wooden overlapping design, and the inside has a high ceiling. However, it is not very hot in the summer but is very ventilated. The large glass at the door allows 360 It rotates and can be dismantled in one piece like building blocks. It is a very unique town hall. Master piece architecture by Mr. Kuma Kengo. It's the town office with bank inside. The glasses door can be moved 360 degrees and withdraw pieces by pieces. Very impressed place. (Original) 隈研吾大師的系列作品之一，是小鎮的鎮公所，外面是經典的木造交疊設計，內部有挑高的天花板，但是夏天時不會很熱反而很通風，門口的大片玻璃是可以360轉動的，也可以像積木一樣一整片拆下來，是很有特色的鎮公所。 Master piece architecture by Mr. Kuma Kengo. It's the town office with bank inside. The glasses door can be moved 360 degree and withdraw pieces by pieces. Very impressed place.

(Translated by Google) A modern government building designed by Kengo Kuma that uses plenty of Yusuhara cedar. I think it makes sense to spend money here because the concept of the town is to unify the townscape based on Kengo Kuma's architecture. I often see half-finished government buildings, but I think Yusuhara is in good shape. When attracting migrants to hilly and mountainous areas where population decline due to depopulation is accelerating, the government office that serves as the point of contact must make a good impression. When doing so, I think that the government building, which has a strong impression of wood, is modern and does not have an outdated design, making it easy for young people to enter. It also has a good shape that lets in natural light. The response was also very kind. (Original) 隈研吾 氏による梼原の杉をふんだんに使ったモダンな庁舎。町のコンセプトとして隈研吾 氏の建築を軸として街並みの景観を統一しているため、ここにお金を使うのはありだと思う。中途半端な庁舎がよく見られるが、梼原に関してはしっかりしていると思う。過疎化による人口減少が加速する中山間地域において移住者を呼び込む際、窓口となる役場は好印象を持たれなければならない。そう行った際、モダンで特に時代遅れな設計になりにくい木の印象の強い庁舎は、若年層も入りやすい造りになっていると思う。自然光を取り入れる形も良い。対応もものすごく親切だった。

The gallery is currently closed. There was no information on the door to say when it will reopen.

(Translated by Google) A large pillar and a bridge-shaped wooden bridge supported by the pillar. It looks like "this tree, what kind of tree, the tree you care about" that appeared in Hitachi commercials a long time ago. When I approached it, the trees were combined and lined up neatly in the complex. This building is also made by Kengo Sumi. This gallery introduces the connection between Yusuhara Town and Mr. Sumi. And this building is a bridge, and you can walk across the building (there is an elevator at the end and you can take a bath when you get off). It seems that the hotel will disappear, but I want you to keep this one for 1000 years. It's a wonderful building. (Original) 一本の大きな柱と、その柱に支えられている架橋状の木造の橋。昔、日立のCMに出てきた「この木なんの木、気になる木」のように見えます。近寄ってみると、木が組み合わさってて、複雑の中にも整然として並んでいます。この建築物も、隅研吾さん作です。 このギャラリーでは、梼原町と隅さんの繋がりを紹介しています。そして、この建物は、橋になっていて、建築物の中を歩いて渡ることができます（渡った先にはエレベーターがあって、降りるとお風呂になります）。ホテルはなくなるらしいけど、こちらのたてものは、1000年保存するつもりでいて欲しいです。素晴らしい建物ですよ。

(Translated by Google) I visited on a weekday afternoon. There is no one but me, and I have a luxurious monopoly. I feel like I only have to go once, but I feel like I was able to notice the charm of the building once again. (Original) 平日昼間にうかがいました。私以外誰もいなくて贅沢に独り占め。一度行けばいいかなって感じだけど、建築物の持つ魅力にまたひとつ気が付かせて貰えた気がします。

Incredible buildings!

(Translated by Google) Kengo Kuma's works can be seen throughout Yusuhara Town. The mini-gallery is free and allows you to experience this wonderful building from the inside. The space, which resembles a breezeway, had a solemn atmosphere. I wish I had stayed at Kumo no Ue Hotel before it was downsized. disappointing. But you can imagine the atmosphere at the time from the gallery. (Original) 檮原町の随所に見られる隈研吾作品。 ミニギャラリーは無料だけに、この素晴らしい建築物を内側から触れられます。 渡り廊下のような空間は厳かな雰囲気すら感じました。 雲の上ホテルが縮小する前に宿泊したかったなあ。残念。 でもギャラリーから当時の雰囲気を想像できます。

(Translated by Google) Yusuhara Town × Kengo Kuma Architecture The following is from the #Yusuhara Kumo no Ue Tourism Association website The ``Yajirobee-type Hanebashi Bridge'' is based on the traditional wooden expression ``Tokyo'' that supports the eaves of Japanese architecture, and is made by stacking many Hanegi (hanegi) and placing girders on top of them. As the only building in the world with a unique structural structure, it has an almost divine feel to it. Apparently they use local cedar from Yusuhara.

(Translated by Google) I fell in love with Above the Clouds. If you stay at Marche Yusuhara, you will receive a bath ticket. Transportation is available by shuttle bus (step wagon white). Bath towels (large) can be lent to you at the hot spring. You can get a face towel. The bathroom is simple. Outdoor dining is recommended. The mountain, the sky, and the bath create a sense of unity. I'll come back later. (Original) 雲の上、好きになりました。 マルシェユスハラに宿泊すると入浴券がいただけます。 シャトルバス(ステップワゴン白)で送迎あり。 バスタオル(大きめ)は温泉にて貸してくれます。 フェイスタオルは貰えます。 お風呂はシンプル。 露天がおすすめです。 山と空と風呂、一体感があり整います。 また来ます。

(Translated by Google) ・This was my first visit. ・I was very surprised to see that the structure of the building had changed. ・When I saw it from the outside, I felt a little moved and frightened, but when I actually crossed the aisle, I was able to cross it without any anxiety. ・We hope that you will continue to perform regular maintenance to ensure that this product lasts for a long time. (Original) ・初めて見学しました。 ・建物の造りが変わっていて大変驚きました。 ・外から見た時には、感動と恐怖感を少し覚えましたが、実際に通路を渡った時は、少しも不安無く渡れました。 ・これからも定期的なメンテナンスをしっかりと行って末長く残して行って頂きたいと思います。

Absolutely loved visiting this art museum, but found ¥1,200 a bit pricey. Reminded me a lot of the museums in Naoshima. The staff gave us a booklet to read which was very interesting, as their audio guides are only in Japanese. The more information you get, the more you can appreciate it. Definitely a highlight for me in Yufuin town.

What a great find! Small museum but packed with interesting architecture and contemporary art pieces. Built by a large Korean IT company and designed by a famous Japanese architect. Highly recommend.

Such a beautiful museum! It was designed by Kengo Kuma. You can clearly see the Mount Yufu, which was definitely amazing! You can enjoy the artworks by renowned artists like Kusama Yayoi, Hiroshi Sugimoto and Takashi Murakami. It’s undoubtedly worth a visit!

It is a modern museum designed by Kengo Kuma. The exhibitions orient towards more avant garde arts or modern artists. If you like design, I would recommend you spend some time here. Reservation online for tickets is recommended.

Wonderful compact museum with several galleries, a reading room and a rooftop garden. When we were there two galleries were dedicated to Yayoi Kusama artwork (which was very prevalent in Japan at the time).

It’s good that they have crowd control so people can enjoy the space. Reserve tix in advance is recommended

Beautiful place, as far as modern art and architecture are concerned ❤️ unique exhibition experience

A small but amazing museum, with collections of signature artpieces from the famous modern artists. As the numbers of guests of each timeslot is controlled, u can really enjoy the art-pieces. U can see mount yufu on the rooftop. It is recommended to buy the ticket online as it has discount and it indicates the available timeslot.

If you book online, it costs 1,500yen per adult. If not, it costs 1,700 yen. Don't worry even if you didn't book in advance. You can make online reservation online on site. There are some famous modern paintings and sculptures which blend in with Yufuyin mountains.

Even though the museum is small, the exhibits on display are of high quality. Recommended to buy tickets online as it’s cheaper and indicate the time slot u preferred. No photos allowed in gallery 1 & 2 but the rest are ok.

This is one of must visit architecture building in the area. Designed by famous architect, Kengo Kuma. If you want to come here I recommend you to check their website and make a reservation. We can’t take a picture at some parts of the museum, so be careful and pay attention to what the staff’s said. The building and the art itself was very beautiful, and such a peaceful place to spent time.

Mind blowing experience to see colors, patterns, visual and subconscious to see the art piece.

Great museum in Yufuin. the museum was designed by Kengo Kuma. The building looks modern although materials are traditionally known as yakisugi. Especially, I love the outside corridor as I could enjoy a variety of plants changing from season to season while I walked across the corridor. Two main space in the museum was very simple. There were a few exhibits. This simple space reminds me of Wabi-sabi. The staff explained the detail of the exhibits, so I could understand deeply. You needed to make a reservation in advance. The one thing that was not happy about no time to stroll the yard. All in all, I highly recommend. (I visited there in December)

Overpriced. Only a few masterpieces for 1,700¥. Interesting building but not worth the price. Staff not helpful and following you into the rooms. Photos not allowed inside.

(Translated by Google) A rather strange roadside station. It's a pity that there are no restrooms outside. It's hard to understand at a roadside station. Is it correct to only use the bath? The outside restroom was only located a little far away. It's a beautiful restroom, but There is no washlet. (Original) ちょっと、微妙な道の駅。 お手洗いが、外にないのは残念。 道の駅の、分かりにくい。 お風呂のみ利用が、正解かな? 外のお手洗いは、ちょっと離れた場所にしか有りませんでした。 キレイなお手洗いですが、 ウオッシュレットは、無いです。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by around 6pm. I was told that the roadside station closes at 5pm (because March is still the winter season?). Only the men's team was planning to enter the hot springs, so we were wondering where we should wait, but a staff member told us that if you didn't want to enter, you could wait in the tatami room just outside the bath. He called me. My mother sits on a massage chair that costs 200 yen for 15 minutes and massages my hands and feet! I was satisfied. The bath was very hot and seemed to be good. (Original) 18時頃に寄りました。道の駅は（3月はまだ冬季シーズンだから？）17時に閉店とのことでした。男子チームだけ温泉に入ろうと思っていたので、私達はどこで待とうかと思っていたら、入らない方はお風呂を出たところの座敷スペースで待つことも出来ますよ、とスタッフの方が声をかけてくれました。 母は15分200円のマッサージチェアに座り、手も足もマッサージしてくれる！と満足していました。 お風呂はとてもいおお湯で、良かったそうです。

(Translated by Google) It was a roadside station with a day trip hot spring. The bathing fee was 500 yen and included a towel. Indoor baths include a regular bath, a medicated bath, and a sleeping bath. There is only one outdoor bath. The water was warm both inside and outside. The sauna (TV) was the size of about 8 people. There seems to be another pool as well. (Original) 日帰り温泉が有る道の駅でした。 入浴料は500円でタオル付きでした。 内湯は通常風呂、薬湯、寝湯。 外湯はひとつ。内外ともにお湯は温めでした。 サウナ(TV)８人くらいの大きさでした。 他にプールも有るようです。

(Translated by Google) This roadside station is located along National Route 197, near the road where Ryoma Sakamoto left the domain. It is located right next to the hotel designed by Kengo Kuma. The souvenir corner is small, but there is a food corner in the back. There are unusual menu items such as pheasant bowl, pheasant curry, and ginger ramen. This time I ordered "Yusuhara" Pheasant Curry for 960 yen including tax. Apparently it's a curry made with pheasant stock. I get a number tag and go to get it when it's called. It's medium spicy, but I can feel the sweetness, maybe it's the sweetness of the onions. It doesn't seem to contain pheasant meat, but it's delicious. Comes with salad. (Original) 国道197号線沿い、坂本龍馬脱藩の道の近くにある道の駅です。隈研吾さん設計のホテルのすぐ近くにあります。 お土産コーナーはこじんまりとしていますが、奥にお食事コーナーがあります。 キジ丼やキジカレー、しょうがラーメンなど珍しいメニューが並びます。今回は「ゆすはら」キジカレー960円税込を注文。キジのダシを使ったカレーだそうです。 番号札をもらって呼ばれたら取りに行きます。 中辛程度ですが甘さも感じます、玉ねぎの甘さなのでしょうか。キジ肉は入っていないようですが美味しいです。サラダ付きです。

(Translated by Google) For use of roadside station stamps and hot spring facilities Sorry to bother you. This facility It was helpful because it was open until late. Also, please be aware that you may not be able to use the toilet at night. The facility's restrooms are available for use during facility business hours. good point It has a pool, restaurants, souvenirs, hot springs, and colors. The hot spring facilities are extensive and there are many discount services available. It's also open late. The receptionists are friendly and kind. Bad points The restaurant is open only on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. They close in the afternoon when there are few places to eat around, and the number decreases further in the evening. (Original) 道の駅スタンプと温泉施設利用の為 お邪魔させて頂きました。 こちらの施設 遅くまで営業されているので助かりました。 また、夜間のトイレ使用が出来ない模様なので注意。 施設の営業時間内であれば施設のトイレが利用可能。 良い点 プールやお食事処・お土産・温泉と色合いと揃っている。 温泉施設は、充実していて割引サービスも多数あり。 遅い時間も営業している。 受付の方達が気さくで優しい。 悪い点 お食事処は土日祝のみ。 周りにご飯食べる所が少ない午後には閉店してしまい夕方からは更に減ります。

(Translated by Google) The location is a stepping stone to Shikoku Karst. It has a hot spring facility. There is also an open air space so you can relax and cool off. It's open until late (21:00), so it's a good thing to do before sleeping in the car. However, there are no public toilets. The toilet is on the left side (before the tunnel) after about 150m up the hill. (Original) 四国カルストへの足がかりになる立地です。温泉施設併設です。露天もあるので涼みながらくつろげました。 遅く（21時）まで営業していますので、車中泊前にはありがたいです。 ただ、公衆トイレがありません。トイレは150mほど坂を登った左側（トンネルの手前）にあります。

(Translated by Google) I had smoked wild boar and pheasant bowl. Only two small pieces of pheasant meat in egg tojidon As you can see from the photo, more than half of the smoked food is salad. (Original) イノシシの燻製とキジ丼いただきました 卵とじ丼に小さいキジ肉が二切れのみ 燻製も写真を見るとわかるが半分以上サラダです

(Translated by Google) 2023.05.24 I stopped by to take a break from the roadside station stamps and Shikoku Karst. This roadside station is located in a large facility with a hot spring, pool, and campsite. The size of the grocery store was not that large. (Original) 2023.05.24 道の駅スタンプと四国カルストまでの休憩で立ち寄りました。温泉、プール、キャンプ場が併設されている大規模な施設にある道の駅てす。物産店の規模はそれほど大きくありませんでした。

(Translated by Google) This roadside station sells agricultural products, sweets, and processed products from Yusuhara Town. Also nearby is Kengo Kuma's Museum on the Clouds. There is also a hot spring. The parking lot is large and easy to park. The toilets are also clean. Also, the ``cheesecake on the clouds'' and ``roll cake'' that are only sold here were delicious. This is the most popular item. This product is also sold at Yusuhara Station in town. (Original) ここの道の駅は、梼原町の農産物やお菓子や加工品などが売られています。また、近くには隈研吾さんの雲の上のミュージアムがあります。温泉もあります。駐車場も広くて停めやすいです。トイレもキレイです。また、ここでしか売っていない「雲の上のチーズケーキ」や「ロールケーキ」がおいしかったですよ。一番の人気商品です。この商品は、町の駅梼原でも販売されています。

(Translated by Google) There are lodging facilities, hot springs, pools, restaurants, and parks, so how far is the roadside station site? I think so, but apparently you can park your car anywhere. The parking lot at the roadside station indicated on the navigation system is slanted, so it is not suitable for sleeping in the car, but the parking lot with the hot spring facility or the thatched-roof restaurant Kusabuki across the road is flat. It looks good. Restaurant Kusabuki is closer to the restrooms, but there isn't much parking space, so we have to make sure it doesn't interfere with business operations. It's in the mountains, so be careful of snow and ice in the winter, but the hot springs are cheap (500 yen), there aren't many people, and the open-air baths are pleasant, so I recommend them. I could have gone to Kengo Kuma's museum for 200 yen, but I didn't have time and gave up. (Original) 宿泊施設や温泉、プール、レストラン、公園があるのでどこまでが道の駅の敷地なの？と思うのですが、車はどこに停めてもいいそうです。 ナビ上で示す道の駅の駐車場は斜めってるので車中泊には向かないですが、温泉施設がある駐車場か、道を渡ったところにある茅葺き屋根の食事処くさぶきあたりが平らで良さそうです。トイレに近いのは食事処くさぶきの方ですが、停められるスペースは少なく、営業の邪魔にならないようにしないといけません…。 山の中にあるので冬は雪や凍結に注意ですが、温泉は500円で入れて安く、人も少なくて露天風呂も気持ち良くてオススメです。 200円の隈研吾さんのミュージアムも行けば良かったですが、その時は時間なく諦めました。

(Translated by Google) The pheasant bowl is not very tasty, so I recommend other menu items. A good roadside station with various facilities. (Original) キジ丼は大して美味しくないから、他のメニューすすめます。色々施設あり、良い道の駅。

What a beautiful community library! It is situated in mountains. If you drive from Kochi to Matsuyama, it is worth going a detour to pay a visit. The architecture is spectacular.

My most favorite library so far! You can lie down, talk, read books aloud, run, play the piano, etc. The most progressive library I have ever been to. They have a lot of Murakami books in English. There's nothing to not like about this library!

We passed by this place during our golden week road trip completely by chance. While driving in the valleys between the shikoku mountains, we found ourselves in a place resembling a town of sorts and was enthralled by the architecture of this place. I needed a break from driving and it looked like a wonderful place so we decided to stop. It was such a beautifully designed building, in the middle of nowhere. From the outside, inside, in between the shelves of books, everything was designed so beautifully and there was so much art in the place. There was a piano open to the public, and a rock climbing station for kids. A really dope place I wouldn't mind spending an afternoon at. A truly pleasant surprised finding this place.

The building itself is amazing inside and out. Inside it is a real community building with a cafe, lots of seating and a bouldering wall. You must take your shoes off at the entrance, slippers are provided.

Special designed library. I enjoyed a cup of coffee and a piece of cheesecake there. Very relaxing.

Kengo Kuma hunting sensitive design community library the kids here are so blessed It has 2 levels with pita for kits to sit and the place is designed to be brightly lit from the natural sun

Best looking library I’ve ever seen. Worth a visit. Nestled in a beautiful town. The architectural design of this library is simply amazing. The range of books is also astonishing with amazing displays
