10 Years of Continuous Restoration and Reconstruction After the 311 Earthquake

After the 311 earthquake in Japan, a decade of continuous efforts has gone into restoring and rebuilding the cityscape. Designed by Sou Fujimoto Architects, the Ishinomaki Cultural Complex in Miyagi Prefecture has become a core venue for local residents' culture and arts. The entire row of buildings, with their staggered pure white houses and chimney shapes, highlights the green mountains in the background, creating a homely concept. The design is both stylish and playful, simple and rustic, reflecting the warm atmosphere of a small town. The Ishinomaki Cultural Complex includes a museum, café, studios, and traditional Japanese rooms, among other multifunctional cultural and artistic spaces. On the second floor, there are two theaters, one large and one small, with the large theater having 808 seats. Even those who are not interested in culture and arts can find their 'favorite corner' here and enjoy a brief moment of comfort and beauty.🕰️ Business Hours: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM📍 Address: 1-8 Kaisei, Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture
