Shirahama sightseeing trip with contemporary art

Kinan Art Week will hold Kinan Art Week 2024 ‘Igoku Tamaru: lives without boundaries’ exhibition from 20 September on the theme of slime molds. While it is possible to visit the exhibition’s Tanabe area venues within walking distance, the Shirahama area requires a car or other means of transport in order to get around efficiently. Therefore, Kinan Art Week received the opportunity to collaborate with the Tanabe Kanko Bus and organised a half-day tour of typical Shirahama tourist attractions and exhibitions all at once. Please enjoy the attractions of Shirahama through the collaborative planning of the Shirahama area. We look forward to your participation.
