Highlights
Naoshima is the main island of a township made up of twenty-seven islands administered by Kagawa Prefecture. The island has a documented history going back to the Heian period, but today it’s known for its contemporary art museums, which draw visitors from all over the world, especially during the Setouchi Triennale art event held every three years in the region. Since the island is part of the Seto Inland Sea National Park, there are strict rules for the visual impact of new buildings, so many of the art museums are built into the ground, creating an interesting aesthetic of their own. ・You can enjoy to go around Naoshima island by a private car with Private English Speaking guide. ・Chichu Art Museum (excluded entrance ticket's fee : 2100 JPY and you should buy the online tickets) *there is not possible to take a enough time to visit here in this tour )

Itinerary
Red Pumpkin Round, red form welcomes visitors This is the first thing you see when the ferry enters Naoshima’sMiyanoura Port. According to theartist, a red sunbeam searched the outer reaches of the universe only to metamorphose into a red pumpkin in the sea off Naoshima. ■Naoshima Pavilion A pavilion reminiscent of a oating island Adding a twenty-eighth island to Naoshima’s twenty-seven,this pavilion is comprised of approximately 250 stainless steel mesh triangles. One can go inside, and it is illuminated at night.
It is a facility integrating a museum with a hotel, based on the concept of "coexistence of nature, art and architecture," and designed by Tadao Ando. In addition to exhibiting the painting, sculpture, photography, and installations in its collection, the Museum also contains permanent site-specific installations that artists have created especially for the building, selecting locations on their own and designing the works for those spaces. The Museum's artworks are found not just within its galleries, but in all parts of the building, as well as in scattered locations along the seashore that borders the complex and in the nearby forest. You can visit the Valley Gallery (Fee: Included in the Benesse House Museum entrance fee).
Art House Project (ticket include: Multi - Site Ticket, not every site./1050JPY) The Art House Project is an art project underway in Naoshima's Honmura district. It began in 1998 with Kadoya, and currently comprises seven locations: Kadoya, Minamidera, Kinza, Go'o Shrine, Ishibashi, Gokaisho, and Haisha. In this project, artists take empty houses scattered about residential areas and turn the spaces themselves into works of art, weaving in history and memories of the period when the buildings were lived in and used.
