Bibai
7.0
Lower score (below 6)
Bibai was a major node in the Sorachi coalfield with a peak population over 90,000 — today it sits at around 22,000 and the gap between the existing infrastructure (wide roads, large public buildings) and the actual population creates an eerie over-built quality. The Art Biotop Bibai (a forest art park featuring Nousaku Fumihiro's work) is an unexpected cultural installation that draws some art tourists. The underlying social fabric is aging, conservative, and closed. A foreign man passing through will find the art installation interesting and the rest of the town inert.
