Tokiwa Park is also home to selected award-winning sculptures. UBE Biennale is an international sculpture competition held every two years and showcases works from both established and emerging artists from around the world. Incredibly, in March 2024, the Guinness World Records™ recognized the UBE Biennale as the “longest running outdoor sculpture competition.” With 15 winning sculptures every two years, Tokiwa Park is made even brighter with about 100 sculptures in the park. The upcoming 30th edition of the UBE Biennale is scheduled from October 27 to December 22, 2024​.

Whether it is a whole day or an afternoon stroll, there is plenty to experience, admire, and absorb in a park that harmonizes nature and art.

  • Open: 10am–5pm
  • Closed on Tuesdays (or the following day if Tuesday is a national holiday)
