Visit HYOGO

Awaji Yumebutai is a facility complex created by Tadao Ando, an architect that has captivated the world. Its buildings exist in beautiful harmony with nature.

Hyakudan-en, which has been a hot topic on social media, is a must-see. This garden formed of 100 flowerbeds arranged in steps holds colorful blooms, including sunflowers, marigolds, and cosmos; it's a garden that seems to float in the sky. Walk up the stairs, surrounded by flowers, and from the top you’ll see the stunning scenery of the Seto Inland Sea: an unforgettable experience.

We also recommend the renovated Awaji Greenhouse, where rare plants from across the globe invite you to a world of the extraordinary. This geometric space made up of light and shadow is artfully beautiful in all parts, and you’ll definitely be able to take a memorable and wonderful photo here. It also hosts fun events, including flower sales and workshops.

Don't miss the gourmet food if you’re visiting Yumebutai. There’s a luxurious lineup of options that enable you to try fresh marine delights from Awaji Island, landed in the fishing port right in front of you, Awaji vegetables grown in the plentiful sunlight, and superb Awaji Beef. The soups and curries made using entire onions, Awaji Island’s specialty, are not only delicious, they look so great they’re perfect for social media too.

Why not soothe your everyday tiredness in a special place that brings together architecture, nature and gourmet?
