Solo trip to Okayama and Naoshima: Japan's Art Island! 🎨🇯🇵

Continuing my solo trip to Japan in Okayama, known as the Land of Sunshine. On my first day in Okayama I explore the city and learn of all its charms. On the second day I take a day trip to Naoshima, known as Japan's Art Island. Naoshima has several art museums as well as free-standing art pieces that you can view, including several pieces by Yayoi Kusama. I had always wanted to visit Naoshima and am so glad I was finally able to make it a reality!

Beautiful video. I love Naoshima. I'm actually really glad some museums don't allow photos and videos. It ruins the experience seeing so many people recording and taking pictures. I love that everyone is in the present with the art.

Cool video ❤ any bicycle rentals in naoshima?

[@MaddieTsang]

Thank you! ☺️ Sadly I didn’t rent a bike myself so I don’t have my own recs

Hi. This is so helpful! I'm trying to squeeze Naoshima into my next trip in November.
May I ask what time you arrived in Naoshima and how long did it take to walk there from the port?
Thank you 😊

[@MaddieTsang]

Hi! I arrived around 7:40am after taking the first ferry to Naoshima. Walking took around 30 mins to get to the Chichu museum. I would definitely recommend using a bicycle though since there are a lot of hills!

[@michaelwatts3986]

Thank you so much. It's now on my itinerary! Michael.

Hi! The train from Okayama to Naoshima is the Uno line right? It's a direct train or you have to change train in the middle of the way. Thanks!

[@MaddieTsang]

You have to take a train to Uno Port and then a ferry to Naoshima from Uno Port. There is no train access onto Naoshima!
