Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

Futaminoura Station

Sun, March 24, 2013, by Muza-chan
Some train stations in Japan have a very special architecture, inspired from the Japanese tradition (like the Kanazawa Station gate) or from a nearby famous construction.

Among them, an interesting example is the small Futaminoura Station from Ise, a modern glass building, with a design suggesting the famous Meoto Iwa "husband and wife" rocks, which are located close by. And if you look closely, some panels aren't covered by mirrors, forming the pattern of a traditional torii gate.
