- Naoshima Island situated in the Seto Inland Sea of Southern Japan has been known as the Art Island in the last 20 years.
Benesse Corporation started investing in art on the island in the 90's- now, there are a couple of very interesting museums as well as installations grouped around three main areas: Miyanoura port, Honmura port, and Benesse House Museum.
We visited Naoshima as a day trip from Okayama.
HERE IS OUR ITINERARY:
- Arrived by ferry to Miyanoura port.
- Rented electric bikes in the port.
- Visited Yayoi Kusama's Red Pumpkin and Sou Fujimoto's
Naoshima Pavilion.
- Drove to Lee Ufan Museum- were stopped by the robot. :)
- Drove further to Benesse House Museum. If you are going by bikes, head to the second entrance as it is much closer to the museum.
- Visited Benesse House Museum and had lunch on the terrace overlooking the Seto Inland sea (highly recommendable, even just for a drink!).
- Visited the Outdoor works on the beaches below the museum (Yayoi Kusama's Iconic Yellow Pumpkin, Niki de Saint Phalle's colorful animals etc.).
- Drove to the Honmura port.
- Visited cloud- shaped Port Terminal and Bicycle garage by SANAA studio.
- Drove back to Miyanoura port.

Never heard of this island before but looks must visit in japan.
It is a pretty small island, but definitely one of the coolest I've been to!
Nicely done video! Awesome how the island has lots of art installations and nice looking beaches. Seems like a gem!
A true gem, you're completely right! And thank you. :)
I m going in may 2024 ❤ will see Tadao Ando building
I love art and there this Naoshime island trip is on my list now. Great video editing and description.
Thank you so much! Oh, this island is perfect for art lovers!
I was completely charmed by your video.
Thank you!
I have never heard of this island and now I am intrigued. I'll have to look into this the next time I'm in Japan. Great footage and editing!
Thank you so much! Well, in Japan you can never hear of and visit everything right? :) I love the diversity of Japan. (Ps- hope you do get to visit next time!)
Loved the video! Coolest place ever. Which month were you there? :)
Haha, that island looks awesome! I had no idea this place existed! That little beach looks beautiful too. Going by boat seems to be a good way to get around. Would you recommend that? Or should we take the bus?
Hi Sally and Ed! I wrote about transportation in the details under the video, I've put some links there as well. We got to the island from Uno port on the mainland by ferry, and then rented bikes for getting around. You can also take a bus, but cycling around the island was so much fun!
Oh cool, thank you. I thought so. Cycling seems like it would be the best way to get around. Thanks for sharing the details!
No problem! :)
😎🙌👍👍
