Kiyoharu Art Village is located on the former site of Kiyoharu Elementary School in Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture. The vast site of 18,000 m2 is lined with various buildings, including Tadao Ando's "Museum of Light" and Yoshio Taniguchi's "Kiyoharu Shirakaba Museum." This spot is especially beautiful during cherry blossom season. The fresh greenery of early summer is also a very beautiful spot. #museum #architecturephotography #photogenicspot #recommendedfordates #gw2022jp
