Awaji Yumebutai

淡路夢舞台

Hyogo · Kansai

A Tadao Ando-designed complex of gardens, a hotel, and a conference center, including the terraced Hyakudan-en (Hundred Steps Garden) built on a former quarry site.

Why we picked it

World-class architecture that rarely makes it onto an Awaji day-trip itinerary focused on the bridge.
