In Ibaraki Prefecture, for five years, we have tied up with Shiho, the producer of “I want to go before I die! Superb view of the world”, and have been promoting attractions and attracting tourists focusing on the superb view of Ibaraki.
And this time, we have released “Ibaraki’s superb view WEB page” as a compilation of “superb view” contents.
On the “Ibaraki Superb View WEB Page”, from among the 10 superb views of Ibaraki Prefecture recommended by Shiho, “Nemofila of Hitachi Seaside Park”, which is in full bloom from mid-April every year, and “JR Hitachi” added as a new spot. Introducing “Asahi Station”.
In addition, you can see the Zekkei x IBARAKI pamphlet that summarizes the superb view of Ibaraki by color and season, and the prize-winning works of the photo contest held from 2016 to 2019.
Now that you can’t easily go to the site due to the corona, please feel the charm of Ibaraki’s spectacular scenery that changes with the seasons and time on the “Ibaraki’s superb view WEB page” and look for future travel destination candidates.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
