The area is also blessed with many sightseeing resources, such as Lake Shirakaba, Kurumayama Dogen, and Lake Suwa, where you can see the “ice waterfalls,” the art of ice that freezes over as it flows, and other scenery that can only be seen during the extremely cold season in Tateshina.
You can enjoy the surrounding nature and sightseeing spots as you wish, or you can enjoy a relaxing hotel stay while warming yourself by the fireplace and enjoying the luxury of doing nothing at all. Enjoy the quality time spent in the Tateshina Forest to your heart’s content.

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.
