[2025 Towada Attraction] Travel Guide for Towada Art Center (Updated Jul)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 #十和田市当代艺术館 A refreshing modern art museum that you can visit while traveling in Aomori. It is more of a venue than an exhibition hall. The art creation covers the periphery and park green space. With the lovely installation art decoration, the Towada City Art Museum is eye-catching! Looking from different angles, you will find different surprises. This is the uniqueness of the Towada City Art Museum. Like Yoshitomo Nara's YOROSHIKU GIRL, the lifelike giant woman Standing Woman, and the Flower Horse with flowers of the four seasons painted on its body, each exhibit looks very childlike and modern when photographed. Towada Museum of Contemporary Art 🕰️Business hours: 0900-1700 💰Average consumption per person: ¥1800 📍Address: 10-9 Nishi2bancho, Towada, Aomori 034-0082 Japan #Aomori #Towada #Towada City Museum of Contemporary Art

#Art Gallery #Parent-child travel recommendation #Kusama Yayoi #NARA Yoshitomo #100 ways to travel 🎠This art museum designed by the famous architect Ryue Nishizawa (one of his representative works: Kanazawa 21st Century Museum of Art), the building itself is a work of art. White cube buildings of different sizes are scattered around, and transparent corridors connect each independent exhibition space, cleverly combining indoor and outdoor spaces and integrating art into life. Through the large glass windows, the exhibits and the street view complement each other, blurring the boundaries between art and life. 🎠The art museum collects works by many internationally renowned artists, such as Yoshitomo Nara, Yayoi Kusama, etc. Each work has its own room, allowing visitors to appreciate the delicate beauty of art up close. These works are full of childlike interest and imagination, and both adults and children can find resonance in them. 🎠Many art installations are also installed in the outdoor spaces around the art museum, allowing visitors to walk in nature and feel the charm of art. Including pumpkins in the square and pillows on the sidewalk, the entire city is our art gallery! 🎠I particularly like Standing Woman. I felt a huge sense of oppression when I first entered the exhibition hall, but after a closer look, I can feel the artist's unique craftsmanship with his handling of details and sharp eyes! 🎠 wEdificio No. 20 (can it be translated as w building?), using the clever arrangement of mirrors, the visitors themselves instantly become part of the exhibition, and can also use their creativity to make many funny actions? ! It should be more fun if you come with a group of friends 😆

A must-see spot on any trip to Misawa, Towada Art Center 𓂃𓃱𓈒𓏸 The admission fee is 1,800 yen, which is not cheap, but you will definitely be satisfied❕😙✨ Shortly after entering the museum, the Standing Woman, the main attraction, appears!! ︎🫢💘 I was overwhelmed by its size, about 4m tall, but when I looked closely, the wrinkles and sagging of the skin, the veins that show through the skin, and each individual hair were so realistic😳 It was amazing how the expression changed depending on the angle I was looking at it from, and it really grabbed my heart🫣🫀 The museum is very large and there is plenty to see🌟 It was nice that it was quiet and calm on weekdays🥰 There is also a lot of art in the outdoor art plaza zone, and there is really a lot to see😄📸 It is about a 40-minute drive from Misawa Airport, and although it is a bit of a walk, the dedicated parking lot can be used for free after paying the viewing fee🚗💨 Please note that it is closed on Mondays⚠️ Free for high school students and younger😆👏🏻 #Domestic travel#Art museum #Aomori Prefecture

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.

I went to Aomori in mid-October✨ I've compiled a list of 7 great spots to visit on my trip to Aomori, just when the autumn leaves were at their peak! ① #LakeTowada ② #AsamuAquarium ③ #OiraseGeorge ④ #TowadaArtCenter ⑤ #TsugaruBiidoro #HokuyoGlass ⑥ #Tsutanuma ⑦ #Nokkedon I hope this will be helpful for your trip to Aomori🥰 #Aomori #Outdoor #AomoriTourism #AutumnLeaves

Towada Art Center in Towada City, Aomori Prefecture! Towada City is called "Arts Towada" and is developing the city by treating an entire street as an art museum. Towada Art Center is a symbol of the city. There are many unique exhibits and it is a very enjoyable place. It's far away, but I recommend it! #art #Towada Art Center

Towada Art Center was created as an "open facility that offers new experiences through art" 😌 The museum exhibits works by world-renowned artists such as Yayoi Kusama. There are also many art pieces on display around the museum, so it's fun to walk around the city while appreciating the art 🤗 Access: 10-9 Nishinibancho, Towada City, Aomori Prefecture #art #museum #Aomori #TowadaArtCenter #tourismsupport

The Most Fun Art Museum in Japan Apart from the Oirase Gorge, Towada is also famous for the Towada Art Center. Given the city's historical ties to horses, even the exterior of the museum features Japan's most beautiful horse sculpture. The exhibitions inside the museum are quite engaging, offering not only visual appeal but also interactive experiences for visitors. Outside the museum, you'll find many adorable art installations. It's highly recommended to spend half a day here exploring and taking photos. Don't forget to try Towada's local specialty, Bara-yaki (grilled beef and onions).

| Hotel Pony Onsen in Towada, Japan. Hidden in Towada, Aomori, Japan, is a surprisingly wonderful hot spring hotel—Hotel Pony Onsen. I recently had the chance to experience it, and I just have to share it with everyone! 🏨 Hotel Environment Built in 1988 and renovated in 2007, the hotel blends traditional Japanese style with modern comfort.

The hotel also has a conference room, which is great for business travelers. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel, and the free parking lot eliminates parking hassles. There are even dryers available, so you don't have to worry about wet clothes. 🌳 Nearby Attractions The hotel is close to many attractions.

Due to a significant train delay, I decided to stay overnight in Towada. After checking in, I took a stroll to the nearby Towada Modern Art Museum. Although it's called an art museum, it actually integrates urban landscaping. While walking, I discovered a Yayoi Kusama piece installed in the plaza. From the introduction, I learned that due to the declining population in Towada, the city began collaborating with artists in 2008 to transform Towada into a city of art. Upon entering the exhibition hall, I was struck by a four-meter-tall standing woman sculpture. Her melancholic expression and the gaze she returned captivated me deeply. Korean artist Seo Do-ho's work, Cause and Effect, is a nine-meter-tall giant resin sculpture with a gradient of transparent, orange, and red, resembling an alien invasion. It magnificently portrays the cycle of life and death. My favorite piece is Yoshitomo Nara's YOROSHIKU girl. With simple lines, it magically conveys emotions of rebellion, anger, smile, and sadness. If you visit Oirase Gorge or Lake Towada, spare a few hours to appreciate the beautiful works left by artists in this small town. 📍Address: 〒034-0082 Aomori Prefecture, Towada City, Nishi-Nibancho 10-9

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩*⋆✈Aomori𓂃 𓈒𓏸Towada Towada Art Center Towada Art Center is a museum that is part of the AOMORI GOKAN Art Festival, which runs until September 1st. The AOMORI GOKAN Art Festival is an event held at five art museums and art centers in Aomori Prefecture where you can enjoy contemporary art. Towada is a city that has the concept of "urban development through art." This art museum is located in the heart of Towada's art scene. When I went there before, many of the works were under maintenance, so I went back for revenge. Each exhibition room is separated as a "house for art," and the buildings are distributed around the site, and are connected by glass corridors. The unique feature is that the buildings are connected by glass corridors. The light that shines through the glass corridors is beautiful, and there are apple trees planted in the courtyard-like area, giving it a playful feel. 🍎 The building was designed by Ryue Nishizawa, a member of the architectural unit SANAA, who also worked on the Teshima Art Museum. 🏗️ There are many permanent works on display that you can see, touch, and feel, such as "Zobop," where the world of art spreads out the moment you enter the building, "Standing Woman," which is about 4 meters tall but looks like it will start breathing and moving at any moment, and "Bridge of Light," which looks like a tunnel and that you can actually enter. 🖼️ 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄𓊆𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒𓊇 Official Website 1800 yen 𓊆𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒𓊇 Official Website 9:00-17:00 (last entry 16:30) Closed on Mondays 𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 Official Website 10-9 Nishinibancho, Towada City, Aomori Prefecture 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #Museum2024 #TowadaArtCenter #AomoriTourism #AomoriTrip #Aomori
