Activity itinerary

Naoshima New Museum of Art

1h 20m
Admission ticket included

After arriving at Uno Port, the bus will board the ferry to Naoshima and take you directly to the bus parking area near the Naoshima New Museum of Art, located in the Honmura district. Here, you will have around 90 minutes to explore the museum on your own. The Naoshima New Museum of Art is a newly opened space designed by Tadao Ando, the world-renowned architect who helped reshape the island by building many iconic structures, such as the Benesse House Museum. The museum features special exhibitions with a primary focus on contemporary artists from across Asia and Japan. Take your time to explore the architecture and artworks at your own pace.

Benesse House Museum

55m
Admission ticket included

Visit Benesse House, one of Naoshima Island’s most iconic architectural landmarks. Designed by Tadao Ando in 1992, Benesse House serves as both a hotel and a museum, hosting various artworks and exhibitions. The building itself is a masterpiece, featuring large open spaces that seamlessly connect the structure with the surrounding nature. Its position on high ground overlooks the picturesque scenery of the Seto Inland Sea. Artworks are found not only within the galleries but throughout the entire building, as well as along the seashore and in the nearby forest.

Red Pumpkin (Pass by)

After enjoying Benesse House Museum, we will accompany you to the famous Red Pumpkin by Yayoi Kusama at Miyanoura Port. You will have some time to take pictures and buy some souvenirs.
