Hoshino Resort Tomamu Chapel on the Water

Church
"This chapel is inside Hoshino Resorts Tomamu, in Shimukappu village, Yufutsu county, Hokkaido, and is based on the idea of coexistence with nature. The planning was done by architect Tadao Ando, with the idea of ""Using nature as-is, to create a sacred space through human intent."" This chapel offers a novel experience by removing any clear boundary between nature and structure. The building is approached on a path through a white birch forest lined with L-shaped concrete, marking the beginning of an extraordinary space. The water running over the altar creates a holy precinct into which no human may tread."
