A Perfect Blend of Nature and Art in Towada 🍃🎨

#hellohalloween Towada in Aomori Prefecture is one of those rare destinations where you can enjoy both the breathtaking beauty of nature and the creative energy of contemporary art—all in one trip. Start your day with a walk along the Oirase Gorge, a scenic river that flows out from Lake Towada. The sound of the rushing water, the moss-covered rocks, and the fresh forest air create an unforgettable experience for nature lovers. I found myself completely mesmerized by the powerful flow of the stream—it’s the kind of place you could visit in any season and still be amazed. After immersing yourself in nature, head to the Towada Art Center and its Art Square, where contemporary artworks are scattered across a wide open plaza. The best part? It’s a public space, so anyone can freely enjoy the installations. The colorful, playful pieces really stand out against the simple town backdrop, making it a fun spot for photos and reflection. Whether you’re here for the outdoor adventure or the creative atmosphere, Towada offers a peaceful yet inspiring escape from the city. 📍Towada City, Aomori #hiddenjapan #oirasegorge #towadaartcenter #natureandart #tohokutravel
