Details
Ebino Ryoufuen has played a role in local welfare administration as a special nursing home for the elderly in Miyazaki Prefecture for nearly fifty years. The new building was rebuilt due to the age of the existing facility and is designed to provide 86 private rooms for people who have difficulty living independently. The location is in the Ebino Basin, on the border of Miyazaki, Kumamoto and Kagoshima prefectures, surrounded on all sides by mountains, and is a natural area with seasonal changes. The landscape changes dramatically with the seasons and weather. The rich nature itself is part of the daily life of the local people.
The Jury‘s Statement
Situated in the picturesque Ebino Basin, this care home impresses with its harmonious integration into the natural surroundings. It provides a nurturing environment for elderly individuals with limited independence, fostering a deep connection with the landscape. The architectural design combines functionality with aesthetic sensitivity, meeting the demands of contemporary care facilities.
