Tentang Ube City

A western gem rich in contemporary art, cultural heritage, and quaint natural sceneries

Ube City, located in Yamaguchi Prefecture, is an off-the-beaten-path destination filled with unique attractions. Ube’s internationally renowned outdoor sculpture competition, the UBE Biennale, has shaped not only the city’s legacy, but also its townscape. Numerous statues are scattered throughout the city, with the highest concentration in Tokiwa Park.

Alongside Ube’s contemporary masterpieces are traditional aesthetics that transport you to eras past—including shrines, temples, Japanese gardens, sake-making, and the age-old artisanal practice of Akama inkstone-making. Serving as backdrops to these various destinations are the city’s mesmerizing oceanside and rural sceneries. With cute cafes, high-end restaurants, and more nestled in the area as well, Ube City is a hidden gem you won’t want to miss.
