About the Host

Highlights

Explore TIME'S in central Kyoto, one of the key early works of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Tadao Ando, with a specialist architecture guide. See firsthand how this building, set on a narrow riverside plot right beside the Takase River, connects with the river and the surrounding city. Your guide explains its design philosophy, spatial composition and hidden stories, and you'll also visit areas not open to the general public. With a maximum of 10 people per tour, you can focus on appreciating the architecture.

Program

Meet Tadao Ando's TIME'S
with a specialist architecture guide

Meet your guide near the TIME'S entrance passage on Sanjo-dori in Kyoto and spend about 45 minutes exploring the inside and outside of the building. TIME'S is considered one of the most important early works of Tadao Ando, one of Japan's most renowned architects and a Pritzker Prize laureate.

Discover architecture that meets the Takase River

Learn how TIME'S, built along the Takase River in the heart of the city, could be constructed right at the water's edge, and how the building connects directly with the river and its surroundings. Your guide also explains how Ando turned the constraints of a narrow riverside plot into an architectural opportunity.

Enter areas closed to the public

Visit restricted areas of TIME'S and part of the 3rd floor, accessible only on a guided tour. Hear about the design philosophy, spatial composition and traces of Kyoto's urban culture within the concrete walls, and see how architecture, city and river come together.
