Setouchi International Art Festival in Japan

Hello world! It's Maki from Winged Wheel Osaka :)

Although it's been so cold here, but is getting warmer little by little.

Last year in October, I visited Setouchi International Art Festival.

I used Shinkansen, train, bus, ferry, and special boat to go Setouchi area!

(It took 2 hours from Osaka.) But it was worth going...!

Setouchi has a lot of beautiful islands, and the event

was held in many areas around Setouchi.

Calm ocean and nature...

Setouchi is one of my favorite places to go trip.

I've visited there several times, but I was so overwhelmed

by the number of people. Soooo crowded!

I saw many foreign people as well.

(There are some famous architecture designed by Tadao Ando.)

The highlight of the festival is to visit 7 islands and a harbor.

You can see a lot of modern arts there.

The most fascinating place to me was Inushima Island.

There is a unique museum which used to be a 100-year-old copper making factory.

The chimney is about to collapse..!

Woo...LOVE this art, inspired by a spider's web :)

I will tell you more later!

Have a nice week!
