The seafood that represents Hiroshima prefecture is oysters. It is said that the months which have “r” in their spelling: from December to February is the best season for the oysters. They are going to hold the sightseeing campaign event called “Setouchi oyster seafood dining room” from December 1st 2016 to February 28th 2017. They set “Umai! Yabai! (Tasty and Amazing)Hiroshima Food” as a concept for this event. It is one of the campaigns that offers information of some foods that people in Hiroshima are proud of. The main food of the first event of this campaign is seafood that is caught in Setouchi.
The seventy one restaurants in Hiroshima and Yamaguchi prefecture that proudly serve fresh seafood are going to prepare the menus which use oysters and other seafood only for this event, “Setouchi oyster and seafood dining room.” There will be a variety of kinds of menus including “500yen take-out,” “1200yen lunch,” “3000yen dinner set,” “700yen noodles (Udon noodle or spagetthi) ,” “1500yen local brewed sake with dinner set” which contains sake brewed in Hiroshima. Furthermore, if you bring the “Uma Yaba passport” that has discount coupons and stamp rally, you can enjoy eating seafood for a more reasonable price.
Other than that, an event called “oyster festival” and the oyster bar that only opens for a limited time of the year will be open on the coast of each city during this campaign. Why don’t you go enjoy the best season’s seafood this winter in Setouchi?

The art collective TeamLab will hold the TeamLab Fukuyama Castle Festival of Light event at Fukuyama Castle in Hiroshima Prefecture from December 2, 2022 to January 29, 2023. The exhibition will transform the stone walls, the tower, and the outside of the iconic castle, which is currently celebrating its 400th anniversary. Light art will transform the space in different ways depending on the number of guests and the weather.
In August 2022, Fukuyama Castle recieved a major restoration with iron paneling installed on the north side, the only such restorative technique used on a Japanese castle to date. As guests walk around the keep, the included musical experience will change according to your walking speed and pace. teamLab <Castle Tower>
The stone walls of Fukuyama Castle will depict animals shaped by flowers as they continuously die and are reborn. When guests touch the flowers, they disperse; if they continue to touch and the flowers disperse too much, the animal dies and disappears. Built during the Edo period, the castle survived the Meiji Restoration but was damaged heavily in WWII.teamLab <Animals of Flowers, Symbiotic Lives in the Stone Wall>
Ovoids made of light sit at the bottom of the castle. When pushed by a person or blown by the wind, these unique creations will change color and interact with the nearly ovoids, which will change to the same color and make a similar tone.teamLab <Resisting and Resonating Ovoids on the Stones of Oblivion>
In the Sketch Generals section, visitors can draw historical warlords associated with Fukuyama Castle, including Katsunari Mineno, the first lord of the Fukuyama domain and builder of Fukuyama Castle, Nobunaga Oda, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Nagamasa Kuroda, Ieyasu Tokugawa, and Masahiro Abe. When the generals are touched, famous quotes appear in speech bubbles! In addition, visitors can turn their own drawings of generals into pins that they can take home as souvenirs!teamLab <Sketch Generals>

Several other works will be exhibited around the castle during the event as well. The castle tower was designated a National Treasure in the early Showa era but was destroyed by fire in an air raid during World War II. It was rebuilt in 1966. teamLab's Digitized City project has become popular across the world, allowing the art collective to utilize real-world locales to display artworks without damaging or altering the location chosen. With its lengthy history, Fukuyama Castle is a magnificent canvas, transforming as both visitors and nature interact with the lights. People, animals, nature, and art can live side by side, without boundaries. Wouldn't you like to come to visit this winter?teamLab <Walk, Walk, Walk -Fukuyama Castle>
