- Pastor's house of Ibaraki Kasugaoka Church, not open to visitors; regular tours of the parish site suspended (official website, October 2026)
Rebuilt in 2010 to Tadao Ando's plans, the parsonage of Ibaraki Kasugaoka Church replaces an ordinary-looking timber house coated in mortar. After the 1989 chapel, the Church of the Light, and the 1999 parish hall, it is the third of the parish's buildings designed by the architect.
A private, lived-in home: it is not open to visitors. It is placed without an address, from a public source, at neighbourhood or city level.
History
The parsonage of Ibaraki Kasugaoka Church was rebuilt in 2010 to Tadao Ando's plans. The old parsonage was a timber house coated in mortar, looking even more like an ordinary home than the parish's first church.
The chapel (1989), the parish hall (1999) and the parsonage (2010) are all by the architect.
Visiting
The parsonage is the pastor's house and cannot be visited. Regular tours of the parish buildings are also suspended until further notice.
