The Waves and the City

About

The Waves and the City, on Kyushu, is an artwork at 1982-10 Nijomasue, Itoshima, Fukuoka 819-1613, in a coastal part of the prefecture west of the city. First-time visitors should expect to seek out a specific piece rather than a conventional venue, with the Itoshima setting forming part of the visit.

Visitors have given it a 4.5 out of 5 average from 55 reviews, a record that reflects how those who make the trip regard it. The work sits within the Nijomasue area of Itoshima, a district known for its position along the Fukuoka coastline.

Reaching Itoshima from Fukuoka is straightforward, and the wider Kyushu network links the island's main centres, with Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Kagoshima, Kumamoto, Beppu, Yufuin, Miyazaki and Sasebo all within the regional circuit. Trains connect Japan's four main islands through tunnels and bridges, while ferries and aircraft serve the smaller ones.
