The Spring Quartet of Asahi. No, this isn’t a musical quartet, but rather it consists of the snowy peaks of the Northern Alps, pink cherry blossoms, red tulip flowers, and yellow canola flowers.
If you visit between late March to mid-April, you may be able to capture this quartet in one frame, which would make for one hell of an Instagram photo. Even if you don’t, Funagawa is a must-visit.

KAWS:HOLIDAY continues its world tour, this time making Indonesia its destination, with the Prambanan temples as its exhibition grounds.
During its six-year-long tour, a remarkable first unfolds as KAWS introduces the "ACCOMPLICE," a design that originally materialized as a vinyl figure back in 2002. Stretching an astounding 45 meters, the bunny-inspired "ACCOMPLICE" now takes the spotlight as the artist's most monumental sculpture to date—fitting that it’s exhibited next to Indonesia’s largest Hindu temple.
Positioned in close proximity to the Prambanan temples, the sculpture has proven to be polarizing. Some have labeled it as "borderline tasteless," and local voices express surprise that the KAWS:HOLIDAY exhibition was granted permission to share space with a religious sanctuary.
Regardless, the juxtaposition of this massive contemporary artwork beside a 9th-century Hindu temple generates a truly distinctive and even surreal spectacle. The encounter carries added benefits, such as drawing in a younger demographic that might not otherwise have shown interest in visiting Prambanan and stimulating local spending rather than international travel.
What are your thoughts? Does the KAWS:HOLIDAY exhibition find a fitting home in this location, or do you think an alternative venue might have been more suitable?

Happy Nyepi day to our Hindu travelers!
Bali is famous for its breathtaking beaches, majestic mountains, and countless natural wonders, but we believe that its rich culture has played a significant role in making it a tourism powerhouse.
The Ngrupuk parade, celebrated by the Balinese people the day before Nyepi, is a prime example of the island's cultural richness. This parade features large, colorful papier-mâché statues called Ogoh-ogoh, which represent evil spirits and are paraded around before being burned as a symbolic gesture of purification and renewal.
Constructing the Ogoh-ogoh can take several months, and it is a collaborative effort of the community. Despite their terrifying appearance, the intricate designs and impressive construction of these statues make the parade a must-see experience.
