Many sculptures made by a mix of Japanese and other artists, classical through to contemporary, spread across a large set of gardens (which it took me a while to find the entrance to on a hot day, having accidentally stumbled on its outer edge while following a path along a waterfall from a town that I didn't realise was so close by).
Three that stood out, all near the entrance (possibly my attention waned as the afternoon wore on, even though it was a pretty great sculpture garden): Carl Milles' "Man and Pegasus" (1949), mounted high and silhouetted against the mountain backdrop; Giacomo Manzu's cheeky yet grand "Grande Striptease" (1967); and "La Pleureuse" (Francoise-Xavier and Claude Lalanne) - a large white stone head on its side in a pool, crowned by vines.
Oh and a Picasso pavilion, because of course there was - he's been unavoidable on this trip so far.
