Sakushima is the largest manned island in Mikawa Bay, Sakushima prospered in the olden days of sail boats, during the Edo period, when merchant ships named Sengokubune traveling along the Mikawa Bay would dock at its port while waiting for a favorable wind. The town center flourished with the bustling sea activity including fishing. But in recent years the population has declined and only 250 people live here.
Sakushima started the island revitalization project in 1995 with outdoor arts that they make use of the rich nature of the island. Today, it has become a popular destination where approximately 100,000 tourists can come to seek out the nature, art and gourmet food of the island.
A local guide will take you around Sakushima visiting art installations by bicycle (wear rain gear in case it rains). Sakushima offers untouched nature surrounded by old coastlines with rocks, cliffs and wildflowers. You can also see the traditional settlements with black walls and narrow winding streets when Sakushima flourished as a fishing village previously.
Sakushima Art works are scattered in the island in harmony with nature. You will have an unforgettable art experience that you can see, touch, climb, and enter …. You can use your unlimited imagination to feel the art
