Church on the Water ( Japanese: 水の教会) also known as Chapel on the Water is a privately owned wedding chapel in Tomamu, Shimukappu on the island of Hokkaido in Japan. The chapel faces a large reflecting pool visible through a large floor-to-ceiling window in the Japanese architectural tradition of shakkei. [1]
The building is a notable project of Japanese modernist architect Tadao Ando who designed the structure in 1985. [2] [3]
