You Can Actually Boat Out to “KAWAII-CORE ISLAND” on Lake Miyazawa 🚣🏝️
Step outside and you’ll be greeted by a jaw-dropping sight — a 6-meter-tall, 7.5-meter-wide pink island floating on Lake Miyazawa: “KAWAII-CORE ISLAND” 🎀
And yes — you can actually land on it by boat 🚣 We spotted people rowing across the lake and realized they were heading straight to the island — it’s a legit option! Getting up close to a giant artwork like this is a genuinely rare experience ✨
Right in front of the museum entrance, there’s also a 6-meter tower sculpture called “Polychromatic Skin -Gender Tower-“ — your excitement level will be maxed out before you even walk through the door 🙌 Other Metsa Village visitors were definitely doing double-takes 🌈💨
What’s at the Limited Merch Shop “THE KAWAII WORLD SHOP”? 🛍️
Inside the museum, there’s a pop-up shop called THE KAWAII WORLD SHOP selling exclusive merchandise ✨ Posters and original goods lined the shelves — Summer grabbed a poster 🎉
