Udamatsuyama and 3 other areas, Nara

Admire modern art on display in traditional Japanese houses at this unique art festival. Nara is full of old Japanese machiya (wooden houses) and these beautiful, often unoccupied buildings are repurposed as venues for installations and artworks during this event. Many of the houses have also been adapted for use as cafés and guesthouses. Meander through these historic streets and appreciate the spectacular modern artworks contrasted with the old streetscapes. The event will take place in the Yoshino-machi Kunisu area on Oct 8th, in the Udamatsuyama area from Oct 21st to Oct 29th, at Sonimura village from Oct 25th to 29th, and in the Kashihara area from Oct 27th to Nov 5th.
