Library Above the Clouds (Yusuhara Town Library)

Yusuhara Town is located on the border between Kochi and Ehime prefectures. Opened in 2018 as part of the town’s commitment to coexist harmoniously with nature, the Library Above the Clouds was designed by renowned architect Kengo Kuma, known for his work on projects like the New National Stadium in Tokyo. Both the exterior and interior feature extensive use of wood sourced from Yusuhara and Kochi Prefecture.

Otaru Canal

Otaru Port, which developed as a gateway for Hokkaido's settlement, saw an increasing volume of cargo over the years. To streamline its transportation, the "Otaru Canal" was completed in 1923 (Taisho 12). The canal, created by reclaiming the offshore coast, is characterized by its gentle curves rather than a straight line.
