Open Fields of Artworks & Thrilling Suspended Bridges (4x13)

: 01, 2019

Our reporter visits Tokamachi, Niigata Pref., known worldwide for its art festival. She views works inspired by the local scenery, lifestyle, and culture, such as statues in terraced fields. She visits an old school that has been turned into a 3D-picture book. At a tunnel and a beech forest, she reaffirms that nature is art. Also, our slightly acrophobic reporter crosses Japan's longest suspended pedestrian bridge in Shizuoka Pref. with a stunning view of Mt. Fuji and rides a zip line with ease.
