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.
The Library Above the Clouds is like a dream! The whole building looks like it's floating in the clouds. The wooden design feels so warm, and the environment is quiet and relaxing. It's the perfect spot to read or just zone out. Highly recommend!
