Leisurely Appreciation of Glass Art and Outdoor Sculptures Overlooking the Sea
About this spot
A glass art specialty museum situated on a hilltop overlooking Nanao Bay. The unique building itself, resembling a space station, is a highlight, and the interior displays glass works by domestic and international artists. Outdoor glass sculptures are scattered throughout the grounds, glistening brilliantly against the blue sea and sky—beautiful enough just to stroll around. The magnificent views of Nanao Bay from the observation space make this the perfect finale to your island tour, where you can enjoy both art and spectacular scenery.
Tips
The museum features a barrier-free design making it easy to view with a stroller. The outdoor sculpture area has grass and slopes, so wear comfortable walking shoes. Nearby Noto Island Glass Workshop offers glassblowing demonstrations; if time permits, you can enjoy that as well.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1.5 hours required. Afternoon light makes the glass sculptures and sea sparkle beautifully
