【 Gunma · Maebashi 】 A sacred place of architecture and art. Maebashi one-day trip to update sensitivity.🎨
Maebashi City in Gunma Prefecture, a city of design that attracts attention from the world, has so much passion for "town planning" that it was an irresistible space for architecture and art lovers 👀✨
I will summarize the absolutely unmissable spot that I was impressed by actually walking.
1. JINS PARK
(Architect: Yuko Nagayama)
Even if you do not plan to buy glasses, I want you to stop by! A roadside store like a city park. The wide atrium and staircase-shaped space are a new public place where neighbors can spend their time. I am surprised that private companies open to the city so much.
2. Twin Distillery & Bentena Shop
A place where you can feel the rebirth of the shopping district. Be sure to get a * * "City Map" * * from the shopkeeper here! A perfect place to start your trip, where you can learn about recommended stores and history. The attempt to "lounge the city" with benches lined up on the street is also cool.
3. Maebashi Galleria
(Architect: Akihisa Taira)
A light architecture that looks like a stack of small cubes. The design allows you to peek into art from the street, and the sensibility blends into everyday life. Human scale comfort is the best 🌿
4. Arts Maebashi
(Architect: Toshihiro Mizutani)
A renovated commercial facility that blends into the city. As the core of the city center, you can feel the richness of the community through art. Not only the beauty as an architecture, but also the quality of the exhibition is a must-see.
5. SHIROIYA HOTEL
(Design: Sou Fujimoto)
A symbol of Maebashi revitalization. To be honest, the accommodation fee is not cheap, but it is worth more than that. Especially * * "Art tour limited to guests" * * is a must-see! There is also a cafe that can be used by non-guests, and the design where the city and people organically intersect is too perfect.
6. RK by lalu
(Space design: RK DESIGN)
The last dinner was here. The rugged concrete and the record jacket on the wall! The fusion cuisine tasted in the edgy space made the night of Maebashi even more creative 🍸
Maebashi is more than just a "tourist destination," but the depth of local activities is synchronized with the global communication power that attracts diverse people.
If you're interested in architecture and design, save it now and put it on your next trip list.
