The city
What to expect from Naoshima.
Naoshima is a small island in the Inland Sea, between Takamatsu and Okayama, transformed into a contemporary art destination. It has museums by Tadao Ando, such as Chichu and Benesse House, and the Lee Ufan Museum; old houses converted into works in the Honmura neighborhood; seaside sculptures; and a public bathhouse that is itself an artwork. Miyanoura and Honmura are the two ports.
