Museum SAN (Space Art Nature), hidden in the mountain, was designed by Tadao Ando, a legendary architect known for his minimalistic exposed concrete buildings. The museum opened in May 2013 with the last works of James Turrel, known for his work within the light and space movement. The museum is spread out in a line starting at the trail at the Welcome Center, to the lawn parking lot to the Flower Garden, Water Garden, Main Building, Meditation Hall, Stone Garden, and James Turrell Hall.
The four wing-shaped structure of the Main Building is designed using squares, triangles, and circles, reflecting the architect's philosophy of connecting land, sky, and humans. Additionally, the museum runs various experience and educational programs in addition to its permanent and special exhibitions.Cafe Terrace in the Main Building is the ideal spot to take a rest while enjoying the 360-degree panoramic view of the mountain.
At the Meditation Hall near the Stone Garden, you can relax your mind and body with the aroma and singing bowl sounds that fill the hall, while enjoying the beautiful scenery through the curved windows.
