Itinerary

  • Naoshima-cho

    The local guide will take you around the Island and museums and art-featured spots and sites giving you a more in depth knowledge that the other tourist cannot experience. Also, stop at a local restaurant and enjoy lunch with fresh produces.

    2 hours

  • Chichu Art Museum

    The Chichu Art Museum is a museum that focuses on the rethinking of relationship between nature and people. To avoid meshing with the scenery of the island the museum is mostly built underground. The museums holds artworks by the famous Claude Monet, James Turrell, and Walter De Maria. What makes this museum interesting is how the appearance of art changes by the natural light that shines inside, which gives the museum a different aspect depending on the season.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Lee Ufan Art Museun

    As a collaboration project between artist Lee Ufan and architect Tadao Ando, Lee Ufan Art Museum is nestled in a serene valley, showcasing Lee's works from the 1970s to present. Ando's semi-underground design beautifully complements Lee's art, offering visitors a tranquil space for contemplation amidst nature's embrace, a serene retreat from the bustle of modern life.

    2 hours

  • Benesse House Museum

    Nestled along the picturesque coast of Naoshima Island stands Benesse House, a harmonious blend of modern art museum and resort hotel. As the centerpiece of the Benesse Corporation's art facilities on the island, this architectural masterpiece was crafted by the renowned architect Tadao Ando. Each building within the complex boasts its own distinctive artwork and guest rooms, yet what truly sets Benesse House apart is its elevated perch atop a hill, offering breathtaking vistas of the sea—an unparalleled setting for an unforgettable experience.

Memorable Adventure

Published on Apr, 2025

Yoshi, our tour guide, blends knowledge, engaging personality, and a sense of wonder to create a memorable experience. His deep understanding of the art, history, and culture gave context to our tour. But it’s not just the facts—he uses an engaging, approachable style that makes the experience fun and relatable, sparking curiosity and interaction.

Efficient and Knowledgable

Yukon Ohama was a great tour guide - He lives on the island and could speak with great knowledge about the history and all the art installations - we had a really enjoyable day

A wonderful experience. Viator arranged the tour very efficiently. The tour guide, Mr Ohora, was very impressive. He is very knowledgeable about Naoshima; history, musuems and details of all the art works and installations. We thoroughly recommend.

Worth renting a car for a couple of hours

Published on May, 2024

We rented a car for 4 hours as it’s easier to get around the island with a party of 3. Prices are reasonable too. Bicycles many people cycle on the roads instead of footpaths. The island has a really laid back, chilled out vibe to it and I think it might be worth an overnight stay the next time we visit. Either that or spend 2 days looking through all the museums (and stay at uno port) Definitely worth a visit!!
