The "Yoro Tenmei Hanten Chi" is a work of art that you can directly experience with your body, and is the realization of a 30-odd year vision by world-famous artist Shusaku Arakawa and his partner, poet Madeline Gins.
This large-scale work consists of two parts: the main pavilion, the "House of Extreme Likeness," and the "Elliptical Field.
The "House of Extreme Resemblance" is a building with a roof shaped like Gifu Prefecture and a maze-like structure that can be entered and exited from anywhere, and the ceiling, which is an inverted version of the first floor, is not to be missed.
After taking your time to view and experience the main pavilions, head to the spacious "Elliptical Field". The "Elliptical Field" is dotted with nine pavilions divided into the "House of Extreme Resemblance". In addition to the nine pavilions, there are also pairs of hills and hollows, 148 winding paths, and islands of various sizes in the Japanese archipelago, allowing you to experience the dramatic ups and downs while balancing your entire body.
