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.

This excursion was a very fun change of pace with the electric bike and ferry rides. Seiko was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the day. I highly recommended.

The island was worth visiting. Unfortunately the tour operator sent us an inexperienced guide. It was only his second time on the island and he didn’t know much about the island or any of the museum. We were very disappointed at the guide service that was provided for an expensive tour…almost $500 per person. We also had a hard time understanding his English. Because he didn’t speak English well, he did not provide much information about the island or the museums.
