Description
Hotel pickup in Yuzawa, Naeba or Gala. Walk the Kiyotsu Gorge art tunnel, see Echigo-Tsumari outdoor art, beech forest and rice terraces.
We pick up your group at your hotel in Echigo-Yuzawa, Naeba or the Gala area at 09:00. Today you see the snow country of Niigata through art, a gorge and old rice terraces.
Around 09:30 we reach the Kiyotsu Gorge Tunnel. This 750-metre walking tunnel was turned into an artwork. At the end you find the Light Cave, where a shallow pool reflects the gorge like a mirror. You have about 1 hour.
Around 11:00 we drive to Matsunoyama and walk in Bijinbayashi, a forest of tall, straight beech trees. It is green in summer, gold in autumn and deep with snow in winter.
Around 12:00 lunch in Matsunoyama or Matsudai. Try hegi soba, made with seaweed. Halal food is not guaranteed.
Around 13:15 we visit Matsudai. Outdoor artworks of the Echigo-Tsumari Art Field stand among the rice fields. You see the colourful Rice Field figures across the valley and the Nohbutai field museum building. Then we stop at the Hoshitoge rice terraces, layered down the hillside.
Around 14:45 we go to Tokamachi. You can visit the Satoyama Museum of Contemporary Art MonET, with its square pool courtyard, or walk the town. Around 15:45 we drive back, reaching your hotel at about 17:00.
Your plan is customizable: on the day, your group can change the order, skip a stop, spend longer with the art, or swap in a nearby place such as the Nakago tunnel art or the Hachi picture-book museum. Changes stay in the Tokamachi area and within about 8 hours. Some outdoor art is under snow in winter; your guide picks the open sites.
This is a private tour. Only your group. Your driver-guide knows the snowy roads.
If the Kiyotsu Gorge Tunnel is closed on your date, you can take a full refund of your booking, guaranteed. If you prefer, we can instead visit the MonET museum and the Hachi picture-book museum.
