In snowy regions like Misawa City, winter can quickly turn the beautiful green, lush landscapes to desolate greys and whites.
Though the holiday season is over, the winter continues in Aomori Prefecture. At Towada Art Center, a short 30-minute drive from Misawa Air Base, over 300,000 LED lights are making the season bright.
Don’t miss the beautiful illuminations and art with an incredible snowy backdrop at the center. Some of the works include pieces by world-renowned Japanese pop artist Yayoi Kusama and others like ingess idee and Erwing Wurm.
Nearby, Towada Community Center “Towafuru” also offers its winter illumination this year. Colorfully illuminated 30 LED spheres in the snowy garden creating breathtaking fantastic space with silver-white snow and colorful reflections.
Both illuminations run through Feb. 14 and are free of charge.
