FROM VIENNA TO THE WORLD
ARCH ON TOUR 30_JAPAN REVISITED 1
Tokyo - Kyoto - Naoshima, Teshima, Shodoshima - Osaka
OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 04, 2018
Concept and moderation: Marion Kuzmany / ARCH ON TOUR
Guided tours: Fumio Matsumoto, Hiroya Kawabata, Masako Ban, Nikken Sekkei, Norio Yoshinaga, as well as other architects and experts in numerous buildings, galleries and museums on site
Tour operator: Mondial GmbH & Co. KG
The tour starts in the super-dense mega-metropolis Tokyo, where we meet for four days
get on the pulse of the action. Starting from the urban residence in Nishiazabu
there is much to explore within walking distance and in adventurous journeys by rail and train: the latest projects and high-rise buildings next to small-scale structures, "concrete classics" from the 1960s and 70s, "cool" bars and shops, fine museums and the detailed city
itself as a source of inspiration. The second stop of the trip is dedicated to Kyoto's unique landscaped gardens and temples, which unfold their full splendor in autumn.
A selection of the very best places - including exclusive tours through the imperial villas -
and walks to temples as well as contemporary interventions in historical ones
Machiya houses describe the three-day program in the former imperial city.
An excursion into the picturesque Seto Inland Sea includes several refreshing boat trips
to the islands of Naoshima and Teshima, which since the mid-1990s have become an artists' colony with numerous art and museum projects by well-known architects
(Tadao Ando, Ryue Nishizawa, etc.) in cooperation with artists. In our traditional hotel by the sea you can enjoy authentic food and the hot bath "o-furo"
to be experienced and enjoyed to the fullest. Osaka, departing from Renzo Piano's Kansai Airport, rounds off the varied tour with a visit to a private home for ceramic artists and a walk through the lively city center. As usual, but especially here in Japan, the culinary component of the program also promises to meet high expectations.
