Reviews
Guide
Tickets must be booked in advance
- Kiyotsu Gorge Tunnel, which is 750 meters long in total, is an art space where visitors can enjoy the four seasons of Seikyokyo, one of Japan's three great canyons
- The art space combines the grandeur of nature with contemporary art, creating an impressive and beautiful atmosphere
- From the three viewing locations along the tunnel as well as the Panorama Station at its end, visitors can take in the fantastic beauty of the gorge
- The most impressive spot here is the panorama station at the end of the tunnel, where the scenery is mirrored back on a reflecting pool in a beautiful art space
The "Kiyotsu Gorge Tunnel " was renewed as an art piece called "Tunnel of Light" by Ma Yansong/MAD Architects at the "Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennale 2018." The artwork is displayed at three observation points overlooking the great canyon of Seikyokyo and at the Panorama Station, which is the endpoint of the tunnel. Visitors can enjoy the magnificent beauty of the canyon from the 750-meter-long tunnel. Especially, the Panorama Station's "Light Cape (Cave of Light)" offers a fantastic art space where the landscape of Seikyokyo is reflected in the water mirror. While feeling the coolness of the valley's stream with their feet, visitors are encouraged to experience the space integrated with the scenery
