[2024 Towada Attraction] Travel Guide for Towada Art Center (Updated Dec)

Five-day tour of Northeast Japan | Don't waste a single minute of your JR PASS① ||| It was a spur-of-the-moment decision to go to Northeast Japan with friends. The first thing to do is to buy the JR PASS Tohoku 5-day ticket (except for foreign tourists, foreign residents in Japan can buy it with just their passport). For each trip on the Shinkansen, you can use this coupon to exchange for a designated seat at the machine or window. Unlimited exchanges (should be). We exchanged for a train in advance but missed it, so we directly exchanged for the next train at the machine without any problem. This step is worth noting: please please keep this JR PASS safe, because once it is lost, there is no way to retrieve it except to buy a new one. (My friend lost it on the second day and had to buy a new one, which was very sad.) Next, let me share our five-day-four-night itinerary: ❄️DAY1: Tokyo → Sendai → Morioka First, I went to the Northeast to check out the statue of Lu Xun, and next to the statue was the Lu Xun Museum, where they had his report card from back then, haha! After leaving the university, I searched for a highly rated restaurant nearby and had a lunch of beef tongue prepared in two ways, grilled and stewed, for just over 1,000 yen, which was very satisfying. Then I took a bus to the area near the Da Guan Yin temple, where you can actually go inside and see over 100 small Buddha statues. After that, I had a sweet soybean dessert near Sendai Station and ordered a soybean milkshake to take on the Shinkansen. In the evening, I chose to stay in Morioka, where the hotels near the station were very cheap and they even gave me a 2,000 yen voucher. I went to a restaurant that served Morioka cold noodles and ordered a set meal of cold noodles and grilled meat, which just happened to use up the voucher. ❄️DAY2 Morioka → Hachinohe → Aomoriya Actually, I wanted to go to the Tenshotei Art Museum that day, but I overslept and didn't have time, so I could only leave regrets. I went straight to the Hachinohe Shokudo Center seafood market when I arrived in Hachinohe. There is a special bus for 100 yen at the bus stop, which takes about ten minutes. Then you can buy seafood in the market and rent a grill to cook and eat by yourself. The rental fee for the grill is 400 yen per person, and it comes with basic soy sauce and salt. Eat on time and take the bus back to Hachinohe Station (remember to plan the time to stay in the market, as the bus runs once an hour). I booked the Aomoriya hotel, which has its own courtyard. It's beautiful when it snows, and there is a sleep demon lamp. You can take a half-hour walk around and come back to the starting point, where there is a footbath to soak in. Back at the hotel, you can continue to soak in the hot spring and drink apple juice. I made an appointment in advance for the Sleep Demon Festival performance, which costs 1500 yen per person. ❄️DAY3 Aomoriya → Aomori → Akita Take a bus from Aomori Station to Aomori Prefectural Museum of Art. Although we only had a brief visit due to time constraints, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and many cute details of this museum. When we returned to the station to take the Gonō Line, we found out that the starting section was suspended due to heavy snow. A bit confused, we asked the station staff who told us to take another bus to a certain station and then catch the Gonō Line from there. We had reserved a private compartment on the Gonō Line in advance, and although the weather was bad that day, there was a unique beauty to it. We slowly enjoyed the sea view all the way to Akita. We had planned to eat the famous Akita dish "Kiritanpo Nabe", but because I was lazy and didn't make a reservation, we couldn't eat at the designated restaurant.

Aomori Literary Tour

This time I drove from Aomori City to Oirase and passed through Towada City on the way. As a young and artistic person, I must go to the Towada Museum of Modern Art. It contains my favorite Nara Yoshitomo and some visually stunning works. Outside the museum There is no charge to visit the open-air installation art, but tickets are required to visit inside. Whether it is worth the price depends on the individual. #Towada City Museum of Modern Art

Owada City Museum of Modern Art Holding a super-minority art gallery in Towada City, it has already opened its 10th anniversary. This year celebrates its 10th anniversary and will be grand at the end of the year. Celebrations. If you don't want to be crowded with people, you may wish to visit the art gallery to see The building of the museum is designed by the representative of Japan, Nishizawa. He and the sister-in-law of the island, Seiyajima, established a joint design office called SANAA, which was famous for designing the Kanazawa 21st Century Art Museum and the French Louvre Museum of Art. Several pieces of art at the entrance of the museum are also famous. For example, the flower horse at the entrance has become one of the important landmarks of the city of Towada. It is made up of Korean modern artist Cui Zhenghua, symbolizing prosperity and vitality. The museum not only has display space, but also rest areas, cafes and shops, all hidden in square boxes, waiting for the crowd to discover. The entire art gallery is very quiet. You need to buy tickets at the ticket machine next to you. The ticket is 1200/person. The design of the tickets is also very special. There are different colors and patterns on the ground. There is a self-evident contrast. Cross the bridge of light that represents fantasy and reality, let the whole body enter a state of meditation, and the mind relaxes.

I went to Japan to play in September. My friend took us to an ultra-small art museum. The Hetian City Museum of Modern Art searched it. It seems that no one has ever sent it in Xiaohongshu! Really super niche The biggest feature of this art museum is that while exhibiting modern art works, it also takes into account the community activities of the citizens. There is also an art square like a park, which is open to the public. The big pumpkins of Yayoi Kusama and the rebellious children of Nara's beautiful and my little ghosts that I like very much are in public areas. You can visit them without buying a ticket. There are also many works scattered on the streets of the Art Gallery waiting for tourists to excavate The entire art gallery is not a simple space, but a white independent box, which is connected by a long corridor. There are a total of 38 pieces of space exhibits regular exhibits, po maps are some of my personal favorite works, as shown in Figure 3 of the "standing woman" lifelike works, standing next to it is like talking to her; Figure 7 The seemingly bland space, the probe is a paradise. In addition to regular stations, special exhibitions will be held regularly. It coincides with the 10th anniversary of the museum and the passage/s exhibition of Korean artist do ho suh. Do ho suh is a very famous artist in the world. He is good at building a space with a stainless steel frame. Then he uses polyester fiber such as polyester to lay out the facade of the object. The author has done too much control over the simulation house, and the parts are very lifelike.
