The Yaizu City Tourism Association of Shizuoka Prefecture has opened a new experience program reservation sales site “meets! Yaizu-A new Yaizu that you can surely meet”.
Experience programs can be reserved in four categories: “play,” “learn,” “make,” and “eat,” based on the concept of “a new Yaizu that you will surely meet.” It is attracting attention for its program that allows you to discover the charm of Yaizu that was unknown until now.
While it is difficult to travel far in the corona, there is an increasing demand for short-distance trips with a small number of people such as family and friends.
Not only can a nearby trip reduce the risk of infection, but it also reminds you of the attractions of the area you live in.
In addition, it is attracting attention as a so-called micro tourism, which is an unprecedented way to enjoy traveling, such as interacting with locals. Expectations are rising for “meets! Yaizu” as a new way to enjoy Yaizu in Post Corona.

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.
