Rokko shidare, Nature observatory on Mount Rokko, Japan
The Rokko Shidare Observatory features an architectural design that merges with the mountain environment through innovative structural elements and natural light patterns.
The establishment of the observatory in 2010 marked a new chapter in Mount Rokko's development, which began as a resort destination in the late 19th century.
The observatory hosts art exhibitions and installations from multiple artists, including works that represent the seasonal changes of Mount Rokko through various media.
Visitors can reach the observatory via the Rokko Cable Car, which operates from 7:10 AM to 9:10 PM with departures every 20 minutes throughout the day.
The structure incorporates design elements that capture natural phenomena, allowing visitors to experience mountain winds, light patterns, and temperature variations throughout the seasons.
