Naoshima Island Trips & Tours
Naoshima Island
Dubbed the 'Art Island', Naoshima has become a unique open-air museum, its picturesque landscape dotted with sculptures, whimsical installations and artistic spaces. A breeding ground of creativity set in the Seto Inland Sea, the island's contemporary art and architecture intertwines with its bucolic scenes of rice fields and wave-lapped beaches. Iconic pieces by Yayoi Kusama — their yellow pumpkin has become synonymous with the island — and the architectural works of Tadao Ando are highlights, while the Art House Project has brought life back into traditional village homes. The Benesse House Museum moonlights as a hotel, inviting guests to engage with the island's artistic soul.
Naoshima is a serene retreat where art isn't just viewed but experienced, amidst tranquil natural settings that inspire and rejuvenate.
Venture to the lesser-visited I Love Yu, a quirky art bathhouse, where you can soak amidst eclectic artwork.
The island's remote locale means limited accommodation; booking ahead is essential and it's best to pack any necessities.
