\ A Day Surrounded by World-Famous Masterpieces /

Perfect for a rainy day! For a sophisticated getaway, head to the Otsuka Museum of Art in Naruto, Tokushima. @otsukamuseum I’ve been here about twice now, and every single time I find myself thinking, "Wait, was it always this huge?" 🤣 Fun fact: It’s actually the second-largest museum in Japan! 🤣 This museum features over 1,000 Western masterpieces from 190+ museums across 26 countries, all reproduced in their original size on ceramic boards. The first thing that blew me away was the "Sistine Hall," a full-scale reproduction of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. Michelangelo’s "The Last Judgment" and the ceiling frescoes span the entire space—it’s absolutely breathtaking! As you wander through the halls, you’ll constantly find yourself saying, "Oh, I know this one!" From the "Mona Lisa" and "Girl with a Pearl Earring" to Klimt’s "The Kiss," there are so many iconic works that even if you aren't an art history buff, you’ll have a blast ☺️ Personally, I loved how the exhibition spaces were designed. The chairs, wallpaper, and even the curtains change to match the vibe of each artwork, making it feel like you’re actually touring palaces and galleries abroad. It’s such a vibe! 😍 This time, I also tried the original stamp rally book, a collaboration with "Bijutune!" Searching for the six specific masterpieces while collecting stamps makes exploring this massive museum even more exciting! ♡ Moreover, participation is free ◎ *Limited quantities available; scheduled until March 31, 2027. You can find them in front of the B3 Information desk! When your feet get tired, take a break at the cafe ☕️ I tried an "art dessert" inspired by Klimt’s "The Kiss." Quick heads-up: the viewing route is about 4km long! There’s way more to see than I expected, so I highly recommend giving yourself plenty of time. Honestly, you could easily spend the whole day here. Being able to see masterpieces from all over the world in one place is such a rare experience 🎨 Definitely make sure to stop by during your trip to Tokushima ☺️ 📍Otsuka Museum of Art 65-1 Fukuike, Tosadomariura, Naruto-cho, Naruto, Tokushima ーーー PR

Naruto Whirlpools

Choosing the right time and season is crucial for visiting Naruto. Take a boat, not the bridge. Seeing the whirlpools from the sea is a magical experience. The deep blue whirlpools against the backdrop of sunshine and blue sky are breathtaking.

Otsuka Museum of Art

The Otsuka Museum of Art in Tokushima is a place where replicas of famous paintings from all over the world are gathered. They are so accurate that they look just like the real thing! Everything is wonderful. You'll feel like you're at the Louvre in France. There are many paintings from ancient times, the Renaissance, and modern times, You can enjoy it all day. It will probably take you about 2 hours even if you look around quickly 😂

Tokushima Prefectural Uzu-no-Michi Walkway

When I came to Tokushima, I was most looking forward to seeing one of the world's three largest whirlpools ''Naruto Vortex''. Unfortunately, when I checked the vortex forecast time, I knew that the chance of seeing a big tide was not great😫, so I decided not to sit and watch the tide⛴️. Only go to the Great Naruto Bridge, which has a "vortex road" on its surface, where you can overlook the whirlpool beneath your feet from the 45-foot-high underground glass. There are also observation decks from different angles near the bridge, steps, and today the blue sky with the white bridge is great for photography.

Ticketing was quick, and e-tickets were convenient. I didn't expect it to be so long; it's just a matter of time and itinerary. I didn't see the vortex.

Ōasahiko Shrine

As you climb the stairs, you feel a sacred atmosphere, and the large, weathered trees give you a sense of security, as if they are watching over you. The amulets include fortune slips with bells attached. They come in cute designs of frogs, Hyottoko masks, Okame masks, guardian lion-dogs, monkeys, and sea bream. You can't choose which one you get as they are randomly selected, but I go every year and put one in my wallet.

Ryozenji Temple

When I visited on New Year's Eve, I saw very few worshippers. I was able to walk around slowly by visiting the quiet area. It seemed that the big Buddha sitting in the pond was in meditation to greet the bustling New Year's Day.
