Arte Piazza Bibai, meaning "art plaza" in Italian, is a unique sculpture park and museum located in Bibai, Hokkaido. It repurposes the former Sakae Elementary School, which closed due to declining population after the coal mine shutdowns. The park features approximately 40 sculptures by Kan Yasuda, a world-renowned sculptor and native of Bibai. Visitors can explore the outdoor sculptures, stroll through the beautifully landscaped grounds, and enjoy the serene atmosphere. The site also includes an art space and gallery that host concerts and exhibitions throughout the year. Open to the public with free admission, it's an ideal destination for art lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat.
