20 19 Best Participation Time and Strategy of Seto Inland Sea Art Festival

20 19 seto inland sea art festival has officially kicked off, and many friends are looking forward to visiting it. After all, the annual event attracts everyone's attention and attention. Let's share with you the detailed activity content and strategy guide.

Setouchi International Art Festival is a triennial art exhibition, which is divided into spring, summer and autumn. It spans almost a year, and various artistic activities are held on the small island of Seto Inland Sea. On April 26th, 20 19, Seto International Art Festival in Japan officially kicked off.

After the spring exhibition began, it immediately ushered in Japan's "Golden Week". Because of the change of the year number, the continuous rest time in Japan is particularly long. At the same time, there are not a few international tourists, many of them are tourists from China, traveling during the Labor Day holiday. As early as 20 1 1, Spring Airlines opened a direct flight from Shanghai to Gaosong, which is convenient and fast.

During several days in May, 20 19 and 1, ships from Setouchi Islands in Takamatsu were as crowded as subways during the morning rush hour. The original leisurely "island tour" has become a queuing conference for visiting, taking photos, eating and taking a boat.

Seto Inland Sea is surrounded by three islands of Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu, and is called "Setouchi" together with the coastal areas. Although it is the sea here, there are no storms, and the island is like a pearl in the mirror.

Seto International Art Festival began on 20 10 and has been held every three years since then. In different places on the island, Tadao Ando, Yayoi Kusama, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Mishima and Ishi, Nishizawa Ryue and Fujimori all gathered together, and new artists were constantly invited to create on the spot.

At present, exhibits are spread all over 12 islands, and it takes tourists a certain amount of time and displacement to see those artworks. This is a very special visiting experience, and people have the opportunity to experience this unique Setouchi-style slow life when traveling between ferry ports.

When to go to the best art festival, which lasts for a whole year and is divided into summer and autumn. Different seasons have different special activities and limited exhibits. But what many people don't know is that although the Seto Inland Sea Art Festival is held every three years, the most important exhibits and exhibition halls are open all year round.

One of the characteristics of Seto Inland Sea is slowness. From one island to another, there are only slow ferries and they are not on call. If the time is full, it will be "urgent", which is actually contrary to the temperament of Seto Inland Sea.

And unless you have great determination and a relatively long travel time, it is difficult for you to see all the exhibits in a few days (the average person's travel plan is only two or three days).

First time visitors can only concentrate on the most important exhibits, which are open all year round. Besides the Yayoi Kusama pumpkin mentioned above, there are also these.

For example, Toyota Art Museum:

For example, these in Naoshima:

Moreover, many exhibition halls, such as the Ground Art Museum and the Toyota Art Museum, need to limit the number of visitors and make an appointment to queue up for admission. When visiting in the peak season, you not only need to queue longer, but also risk not being able to queue up.

All the above permanent venues need to buy extra tickets, and during the art festival is no exception; There are two kinds of joint tickets during the art festival: one is the "three-season joint ticket" valid for all events on 20 19, and the other is the "delayed limited joint ticket" valid only in spring, summer and autumn. That is to say, although the time limit of boat tickets is very broad, you have to buy boat tickets to and from various islands in addition to joint tickets and special venue tickets.

What's more worth mentioning is that the summer in Seto Inland Sea is very hot and humid (mosquitoes are also extremely fierce! )。 In the case of high temperature and humidity, riding a bicycle and taking public transportation to and from various venues is a great test of physical strength. If you must go, then again, you can avoid weekends and holidays, because this is also the peak time for Japanese people to travel.

With fewer people, the impression and experience will be very different.

When did you book the plane ticket? Of course, if you have booked a summer flight, you might as well come and solve it. After nearly ten years of development, the service industry on the island has made great progress. In particular, Otaru Island, which has a tourist resource base, has opened some new shops with great personality.

"Mitsui Island" is the second largest island in Seto Inland Sea. Because of its numerous olive trees, it is also called Olive Island by locals. In addition to olive trees, there is a history of brewing soy sauce for more than 400 years. Olive grove and soy sauce workshop are both famous scenic spots in Otaru Island.

Originally, Xiaoyue Island, like the surrounding areas, faced with aging population and economic recession. The good operation of the Setouchi Arts Festival has brought popularity to the island. In the past ten years, * * * has moved into hundreds of young new residents, who run restaurants, shops, cafes and hotels on the island to provide living services for tourists who come for the arts.

"Kikutaro bakery &; Cafe "(Kagawa _ Xiaodoujun Xiaodou _ Machimachi 2267-5)

) is a new store opened by farm operators on the island. Bread is sold on the first floor. Products try to use local special ingredients, such as olives, oranges, and curry bread made of "olive beef" with olives as feed.

Shopkeeper Inoue used to run an agricultural garden on the island, planting fruit trees and olive trees. Most of the raw materials used in bread come from his own farm. On the second floor is a cafe that is only open on holidays, and the terrace overlooks the harbor.

"Today's Day" (Adzuki A 20 19-2, Nana Ogawa Prefecture, Machimura)

) is a coffee shop that bakes its own coffee beans and also serves chocolate and wine. It was converted from a house by the sea, in front of Olive, the largest bathing beach in Karuijima.

Beach. The shopkeeper moved from Kamakura and wanted to open a cafe here for people to "just stare blankly at the sea".

“usukefare

"(13 1- 1), located in Azukijima Mountain, Xiangchuan _ Xiaodou County, Xiaodou Town, has been converted into an art museum-style shop.

There are handmade ceramics, handicrafts, ornaments and clothes in the shop. In the antique factory building, the scenery outside the window changes with the seasons. The owner and his wife are "immigrants" from Yuxian. They mainly choose the works of artists and craft writers in Setouchi, but they also look at the whole country to choose products.

In the spring of 20 19, the famous Harmony Hotel "_ Li Suzhen" in light well island opened a semicolon-"Hai Yin Li Zhen". The owners of these two hotels were born in Otaru Island. After graduating from high school, they began to learn cooking, and later returned to the island to run the Li Suzhen Island Harmony Hotel, which integrates cooking.

He took pains to study the combination of local ingredients with the flavor of soy sauce and olive oil, and also thought about the business model of hotels on the island. Now, the truth of island accommodation integrates spa, hot spring, gourmet, soy sauce workshop and souvenir shop, and the occupancy rate of eight rooms exceeds 90% throughout the year. It is hard to find a room in the peak season.

The newly opened Hai Yin Li Zhen Hotel has six rooms. At present, only two rooms are open for booking, and you can enjoy the same service as the island cabin, but the scenery facing the sea is better.

There is an official mobile APP map, which is more convenient to find a way!

In the past, jumping off the island in Seto Inland Sea relied on some folk strategies and an official paper map, or looking up official website. This year, Setouchi Art Festival launched an official free APP.

It is very convenient to query your own community, exhibition hall location and work introduction in real time. The iOS version has been launched (download address: app.setouchi-artfest.jp), and the Android version will have to wait.

The last big move-join the official VIP group

During the extension of the festival, the pier will be crowded with tourists from all over the world, and there will be long queues at the boat-taking points.

You can join the official chartered tour (official website order: /visit/official-tour/), accompanied by a tour guide, and 1 people can join a group. You don't need to do your own raiders to get a reasonable route arrangement, save physical strength and time, and you can also get exclusive souvenirs of Setouchi International Art Festival.
