Naoshima is a beautiful island in the Seto Inland Sea with a blending of nature, art, and architecture. Visitors can see the beauty of the Setouchi island archipelago blended with art attractions such as the Benesse House Museum, the Chichu Art Museum, and the Art House Project. This island is full of unique charm that can only be experienced here.

Set against the backdrop of the beautiful islands of Seto Inland Sea, the Setouchi Triennale international contemporary art festival is held once every three years.

Best season: All year

Point: It is recommended that you check the museum's closure calendar as the exhibit maintenance schedule is irregular.
In addition, from August 2018, the Chichu Art Museum has adopted an online ticket reservation system. While you can purchase same-day tickets, a reservation is recommended as you may not be able to enter the museum if it is crowded.
