What To Expect

In principle, reservations are for two persons or more. This is a leisurely bicycle walk around Naoshima, which is famous for the Setouchi Art Island. Take the ferry from Takamatsu Port to Naoshima's Miyanoura Port with your bike. Upon disembarking, the iconic red pumpkin—Naoshima's symbol—greets you. With countless Instagram-worthy artworks scattered throughout the town, stop at photo spots along the way and capture plenty of stylish memories with your BROMPTON! The Honmura area on the island's east side, where you can enjoy the “House Project,” is perfect for strolling through its intricate back alleys, stopping at your favorite shops, and discovering street art around every corner. From there, you can also visit the internationally renowned ※Chichu Art Museum and ※Benesse House Museum to experience their overwhelming spatial art. For the return trip, take a different route back to Miyanoura Port. Then, enjoy the sunset over the Seto Inland Sea from the ferry as you head back to Takamatsu Port. Enjoy this art island to the fullest—it feels like stepping into another world!

Great way to see many of Naoshima’s museums and artworks in a single day. Our guide, Takashi, was helpful and went at our (slow) pace. Our lunch of authentic local produce in an off-the-beaten track restaurant was an unexpected treat!
A day of exercise and culture on the island!

The two of us had a wonderful day on Naoshima with our guide Takashi. We met Takashi in Takamtsu with time to have a ride around the waterfront before catching the ferry. We then rode to a number of sights and museums on the island. Takashi took us at a good pace with plenty of time to see the Art House project installations, the Chi Chu museum and the Lee Ufan museum, all of which are fabulous. We also visited the two pumpkins, of course. It is a full day but well worth it! Thank you Takashi.
Great day trip

This was a great adventure and I enjoyed pedaling around Naoshima visiting the various art locations. (I felt bad for all the walkers we passed.) The guide, T., sorry I forgot your name again, was excellent.
