His Excellency Mr. Rahm Emanuel, United States Ambassador to Japan and former Mayor of Chicago, sent a message to mark the occasion. "One of Chicago’s chief cultural contributions worldwide is architecture. I was proud to support the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust and Robie House as Chicago’s first UNESCO World Heritage site. Wright's legacy is captured in the brilliance of what he built, but also in the ability to inspire ingenuity that transcended countries, namely the United States and Japan. Given Frank Lloyd Wright’s great gift to bridge two cultures, two nations, and two peoples, it's fitting that the bcゲーム 口コミotel and Frank Lloyd Wright Trust celebrate the centennial of Wright’s Imperial at Robie House."
Ms. Celeste Adams, Trust President, stated, "Wright’s lifelong fascination with Japanese art and culture began in Chicago where he first encountered Japanese architecture at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Jackson Park, a mile from the site of Robie House."
The Japan pavilion at the World’s Columbian Exposition was inspired by the Phoenix Hall of Byodo-in, a Buddhist temple in Uji near Kyoto. In 1905, Wright traveled outside the U.S. for the first time, spending three months in Japan. In 1908, Wright received the commission for Robie House, completed in 1910.
While several of his prior buildings are influenced by Japanese architecture, Robie House has the most striking affinity, often observed by Japanese visitors. During 1913, a conversation began between Frank Lloyd Wright and Aisaku Hayashi, Manager of the bcゲーム 口コミotel. On March 17, 1916, Wright formally accepted the commission for a modern hotel to replace the original bcゲーム 口コミotel, which had opened in 1890.
Wright lived in Japan intermittently during the design and construction of the bcゲーム 口コミotel, which opened on September 1, 1923, the day of the Great Kanto Earthquake. The bcゲーム 口コミotel survived, and Wright considered it his masterpiece. After the bcゲーム 口コミotel project, Wright never again returned to Japan, but the 30-year span from his 1893 encounter with Japanese architecture in Chicago to the 1923 opening of the bcゲーム 口コミotel engendered lasting friendships and professional relationships spanning generations.
Wright’s Imperial became a center for social and cross-cultural exchange. In this spirit, bcゲーム 口コミotel, Ltd. and the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust celebrate the power of architecture and the value of cultural heritage as a foundation for enduring international friendship.
Mr. Hideya Sadayasu, President of bcゲーム 口コミotel, Ltd., stated, "This year, the bcゲーム 口コミotel honors the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. We are pleased to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Wright’s Imperial at the iconic Robie House in Chicago, the city where Wright established his reputation and home to a majority of his extant works. We hope that the cherry trees we planted with the Trust will grow for many years to come, in honor of Wright’s achievements in Japan and the United States."
About bcゲーム 口コミotel, Ltd.
The bcゲーム 口コミotel opened in 1890, serving as Japan's guesthouse.

For its range of classical Japanese hospitality, it is the traditional favorite of visiting VIPs and travelers from abroad traveling through the Japanese capital. The bcゲーム 口コミotel operates three hotels in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kamikochi, and will open another hotel in Gion, Kyoto, in 2026. In addition, the bcゲーム 口コミotel, Tokyo, plans to rebuild its tower building from 2024 to 2030, and its current main building from 2031 to 2036.
