Unkai Terrace, which opened in 2006, attracts a large number of visitors every year, and the cumulative number of visitors reached 1.2 million in the fall of 2020. And it is scheduled to be reopened in 2021 so that you can appreciate the dynamic sea of clouds more closely.
The deck will protrude to the front more than before, and you will be able to see the sea of clouds even closer. The view of the sea of clouds that flows over the mountains and fills the entire surface in front of you is truly a magnificent view of the sky. With a deck that seems to be floating in the air, you can feel as if you were on a boat and going out into the sea of clouds.
From the top floor, which is about 12m high, you can get a wider view of nature, such as the sea of clouds, the Hidaka Mountains, and the rising sun in front of you. If you change the height, the appearance will change, so you can enjoy various scenery. You can enjoy the overwhelming scale of nature and have a refreshing morning.
You can enjoy reading a book, relaxing on the indoor sofa, and waiting for the sea of clouds while drinking a sea of clouds coffee with cloud-shaped marshmallows or a sea of clouds soda that expresses fluffy clouds with cotton candy.

Also back this year is the popular Japanese Stollen, which was a big hit last year. This is a special cake that can only be tasted at Kimuraya, using Japanese-inspired ingredients such as persimmons, figs and koshi-an (sweet bean paste). Please take this opportunity to try Kimuraya’s limited edition Christmas bread.

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.
