Hoshino Resort Aomoriya, a hot spring resort where visitors can experience Aomori’s culture, will operate the “Autumn Leaves Apple Carriage,” an activity to enjoy the autumn leaves and seasonal apples in a carriage.
Aomoriya has a park on its grounds, where maple, konara, beech, and other trees turn red, yellow, and orange in the fall, making for an enjoyable autumn foliage viewing experience. By taking a horse-drawn carriage ride around the park, visitors can enjoy the autumn leaves while tasting apples in the carriage at a leisurely pace.
You will be able to choose one type of apple of your choice from five different varieties with different sweetness, acidity, and texture. Apple juice will also be served together with the apples, allowing you to taste the apples in two different ways.

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.
