Awaji Secret Spot: Sea Breeze Awaji, Tadao Ando's low-key masterpiece.
In a corner of the map, near where the sky and the sea meet, 🔍Awaji Island (あわじしま) lies quietly in the southern part of Hyogo Prefecture. Although this island has no train 🛤, its unique charm attracts a few explorers to drive 🚗 or take a bus 🚌 to this pure land that has not been disturbed too much by the outside world.
🏠Located in a mysterious corner of the island, the Sea Breeze Awaji Hotel seems to be a hidden Easter egg in many of Tadao Ando's works🥚 - the price is affordable and it is particularly eye-catching in the designer's hotel series.
📅Looking back on history, this hotel was once the TOTO training center in 1997. Later, it changed its identity and opened its arms to welcome every traveler.
🖌From the exterior to the interior, every line reveals the breath of minimalism, echoing other works of Tadao Ando on the island, such as the Hyogo Museum of Art, Chichu Art Museum, and Church of the Sea, weaving together an artistic dialogue about light and shadow.
🛏There are not many rooms, the layout is clever, and the privacy is beyond imagination. Every detail is carefully crafted, and living here is like being in a private gallery🖼.
