On September 15, 2022, a special guide introducing how to enjoy autumn foliage strolls and gourmet information along the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, one of the world’s leading mountain tourism routes connecting Toyama and Nagano prefectures, will be available on the web.
This guidebook provides a wealth of information that can easily be enjoyed as a guidebook, including photo spots to visit during the peak season of autumn foliage and mountain lodge gourmet foods to stop by while strolling.
Photo spots introduced with autumn foliage photos and comments supervised by Toyama-based photographer Yasuto Inagaki, and “Tatekuro Gourmet” specialties that can only be tasted in Tateyama are also introduced.
You can enjoy beautiful photos taken under the theme of “Tateyama in Autumn Foliage”.

Points for taking pictures of the superb view of Tateyama Kurobe, situations with people, etc. You can take pictures at recommended photo spots while listening to Yasuto Inagaki’s advice.
After enjoying the great natural beauty of autumn leaves, visitors can take a breather with delicious sweets, light meals, and coffee at this limited-time gourmet event.
The latest information on autumn foliage at 10 locations along the Alpine Route will be distributed on the official website and other sites (updated about twice a week) from September 1 (Thu) to early November. Along with Daisetsuzan in Hokkaido, Tateyama is the earliest mountain in Japan, usually starting in mid-September near Murododaira in Tateyama! The difference in elevation from the summit to the foot of the mountain is 1,975 meters, so visitors can view the autumn leaves at various locations at different times of the year.

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.
