This year, the international art festival is on! It displays contemporary pieces of art disposed accross the Suzu countryside, for a very interesting crontrast between eachother; sometimes in abandonned houses, schools and sheds giving a new vibrance to these dusty spaces.
Because of the big earthaque this spring, the event has been slighlty postponed, and will be held from September 23 to November 12. This is also a great period for cycling, after the hot Japanese summer (especially the one from this year!) and typhon season.
For those looking for an alternative way to hiring a car and visit this wide festival area, I can arrange accompanied cycling tours. One day is not enough to see all of it, but in my opinion, the real point of this art festival is to steer visitors to the hidden scenic spots of Suzu. Thus, no need to feel stressed out about seeing every pieces of art, but instead just enjoy the opportunity for an immersive day among art and remote countryside.
