Itinerary
Designed by Tadao Ando, this museum is built mostly underground to avoid affecting the natural scenery. Experience works by Claude Monet and James Turrell in natural light.
Located on a hill overlooking the sea, this museum features site-specific works created for this unique environment. Enjoy the harmony of art, architecture, and the Seto Inland Sea.
Visit the Honmura area, where the "Art House Project" takes place. In this project, artists transform abandoned traditional houses and workshops into permanent art installations. We will stroll through the charming village and explore several of these unique sites, discovering how contemporary art breathes new life into the island's history and local architecture.
More than just a photo spot, this iconic hollow sculpture by Yayoi Kusama invites you to step inside and experience the world through its various circular "dots." As the sunlight filters through the openings, it creates a playful atmosphere of light and shadow inside the pumpkin. It is the perfect final stop to immerse yourself in Naoshima's artistic spirit right by the sea before concluding your tour.
