Located in the Seto Inland Sea, Naoshima has become a global destination for travellers seeking something beyond Tokyo and Kyoto. Think world-famous galleries, immersive installations, Yayoi Kusama’s iconic pumpkin sculptures, and minimalist stays overlooking the ocean. But what makes the island unforgettable is the pace: slow ferries, quiet coastal villages and art woven into everyday life.
Whether you’re into design, culture or simply discovering somewhere different, Naoshima proves art doesn’t just belong in museums – it can transform an entire destination. Add this one to your Japan itinerary.
