Kasuga Taisha Shrine

Located in the grounds of the world-heritage Kasuga Taisha’s shrine within Nara Park with a background of Kasugayama Primeval Forest, Kasuga Taisha Shrine’s National Treasure Hall is a museum that includes and publishes historical, cultural heritages.


In this important museum, Fujitec has installed a simple but attractive elevator. The presence of the elevator with a simple design, which harmonizes well with the calm atmosphere of the museum equipped with national treasures and significant cultural properties, draws out the appeal of the exhibited objects maximally. The elevator naturally fits into the museum as part of appreciated and experienced items, never lowering the solemn atmosphere. It realizes a comfortable movement of visitors.
