Percent Map travel guide (2026-11-09): Pumpkin Returns to Japan’s Art Isle

After being lost at sea during a typhoon, Yayoi Kusama's iconic yellow pumpkin has found its way back home to Naoshima Island. The sculpture, beloved by locals and visitors alike since 1994, was greeted with joy as it resumed its place on the island’s iconic pier. If you visit Naoshima in November, don't forget a jacket; expect cloudy skies around +14°C, perfect for a cozy exploration of art amidst milder temperatures.
