While in Tokyo we read in the newspaper that a large sand sculpture exhibition had just opened in Yokohama. The train to Yokohama took us about 30 minutes from Tokyo and the exhibition is on until the 3rd of November.
Sand sculptors from around the world have created giant detailed sculptures that include World Heritage and historical buildings from China, Japan and South Korea. The artists used sand from the Tottori Sand Dunes, Japan’s largest coastal dunes which is about 6 hours by train from Tokyo. |
