One of the trilogy of churches *

This Church of Light is one of the structures in Tadao Ando's 'Trilogy of Churches,' and it is the most representative and famous among the three.

The other two churches in the trilogy are as follows. This chapel is located in 'Ibaraki Kasugaoka Church' in Kitakasugaoka, Ibaraki City, Osaka Prefecture. The light that seeps through the gaps in the concrete takes the shape of a cross. This is also a place called 'Church of Light' created by Tadao Ando.

Following the Church of Water and the Church of Light, the third artistic structure in the trilogy is the 'Church of Wind.' It is located on Mount Rokko in Nada Ward, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, where the pleasant breeze blows through the building, familiar for its "Rokko's delicious water."

Back to the story of the [Church of Water] *

Since the Church of Water is located within Hoshino Resorts Tomamu, it can certainly be visited as a tourist attraction, but it is also available for couples who want to hold their wedding here. *

Taking photos of this artistic Church of Water alongside a bride in a wedding dress allows for incredibly mystical pictures to be captured. ♡

This is what the Church of Water looks like from the outside! The glass-walled church gives the illusion that the entire building has somehow submerged underwater.

The view during the day, when you can see the great nature, the building, and the cross, with sunlight streaming in, is wonderful, but it’s the nighttime that really captivates! The mysterious allure of the illuminated Church of Water is irresistible!

The virgin road leading toward the cross standing tall in the water is visible beyond the glass windows. Beautiful lakes surrounded by trees and the sky create an atmosphere where you can pledge eternal love. Just imagining it makes me happy and brings a smile! * I want to have my wedding in such a place...!

Hoshino Resorts Tomamu is famous for its sea of clouds ♡

Hoshino Resorts Tomamu, located in Shimukappa Village, Hokkaido, is also renowned for its breathtaking view of a sea of clouds that far surpasses the imagination.

You can ride the gondola to the mountain and witness the sea of clouds flowing between the Hidaka and Tokachi mountains from a place called the 'Sea of Clouds Terrace.' *

If you see the sea of clouds, you are truly lucky ♡

The view from the Sea of Clouds Terrace is a miraculous scene where no two moments are alike, as the clouds move rapidly! Moreover, due to weather conditions, you can see such beautiful sea of clouds only about 30% of the year...! If you get to see it, you’ll want to imprint that emotional moment and scene into your mind. *

Let's have a wedding at the Church of Water and go see the sea of clouds ♩

Resort weddings in tropical countries or private ceremonies in Europe are nice, but wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a wedding in Japan's breathtaking scenery?

Having your wedding at the artistically designed Church of Water, created by a genius Japanese architect, and then going with your guests to witness the impressive sea of clouds sounds like such a wonderful wedding where you can fully enjoy nature and art. *
