The Sanctuary Court Takayama Art Gallery Resort
Takayama City, Hida
The Sanctuary Court Takayama Art Gallery Resort pioneers a new concept in Japan as the country's first integrated hotel and art museum. Set in Hida Takayama's snow-swept landscape on the site of the former Hida Takayama Museum of Art, the resort showcases glass masterpieces by René Lalique and Émile Gallé through carefully orchestrated lighting design. From the grand entrances to intimate spaces, the illumination enhances both the architectural elements and the precious glass collection, creating deliberate moments of discovery and contemplation. Light harmonizes the fusion of art, nature, and architecture, exemplifying the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship and refined design.
