In 1988, the Yonago Sculpture Symposium was held for the first time in the San'in region under the initiative of a private sector, which is rare in Japan.

​

After that, sculptors from Japan and abroad were invited to the Yonago Sculpture Symposium, which was held every other year until 2006. It was a novel event that took more than a month to show the production process.

 

The 36 sculptures produced during this period are installed along the promenade along the Shin-Kamo River for about 3 kilometers from Yonago City Cultural Hall to Minatoyama Park.

 

If you take a walk while looking at and touching each sculpture, you will be in Minatoyama Park in no time.

If you turn back the course and walk again, the sculptures show different expressions depending on the viewing angle.

The course from Sculpture Road to Yonago Shitamachi along the Kamo River is so beautiful and full of emotion that it has been selected as one of the 500 Beautiful Roads in Japan Walk.
