Yodokō Guest House
You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.The Yodokō Guest House was built as the summer villa for the well-to-do brewer of Sakura-Masamune sake, Tazaemon Yamamura, and is the only surviving Frank Lloyd Wright residence in Japan.[2] Set into a hilltop in Ashiya, overlooking the Port of Kobe in western Japan, the villa demonstrates Wright's genius for spatial composition: although it has four levels, none is taller than two stories.By stepping the house into the hill, Wright took advantage of the extraordinary views of Osaka Bay the site offered.[3] In 1947, the house became the property of Yodogawa Steel Works, Ltd., and was used as an official residence for the company president.The building was damaged due to the Great Hanshin earthquake in 1995, but was subsequently repaired and has been re-opened.
