What To Expect

Art House Project

The tiny fishing village of Honmura, on the eastern edge of Naoshima, is home to the Art House Project, a collection of abandoned houses and workshops (as well as a temple and a shrine), that have been converted into venues and art installations by artists from Japan and around the world. The Art Houses are scattered throughout the village, within walking distance of one another. Intersperse your visits with a coffee break or lunch at one of the handful of charming cafes run by a mix of locals and transplants from cities like Tokyo and Osaka.

Chichu Art Museum

For many (myself included), Naoshima’s highlight is Tadao Ando’s stunning Chichu Art Museum. Much of the building is underground, and Ando designed it to let in an abundance of natural light that alters the appearance of the artwork it houses throughout the day. Chichu houses a small but impressive collection of works by artists including Claude Monet, James Turrell, and Walter De Maria. On most Friday and Saturday evenings, the museum also hosts the Open Sky Night Program, a special sunset viewing of James Turrell’s “Open Sky.”

Yoko was the best guide! We would have been totally lost without her and we maximized our whole day on the island. Don’t forget to bring cash and have fun spotting fun art and amazing architecture. Chichi museum was our favorite :)

My mom in her late 70s and I had an amazing day with Sato on Naoshima Island. She was very prepared and shared lots of information and trivia about this art island. She was very accommodating as it was a really hot day, so she made sure that she planned around the heat so that we could get out of the sun, while enjoying all around the island. She has such a great disposition, and is quite funny. We really enjoyed our day.
Happy day on Naoshima

We stayed in Uno and took the ferry across with our guide, Sato, who had lots of stories to tell! The experience overall was superb, with nice weather allowing walks around different art sites. The Chichu museum was excellent and overall we had a great day!

Sato-san curated a perfect day on Naoshima. She was well-informed, interesting, and very responsive to our requests. We especially enjoyed the Chichu Art Museum, Sugimoto Hiroshi Time Corridors exhibit, and Benesse House Projects. Naoshima is a little difficult to reach, but well worth the effort required!
Excellent tour with Reiko, we loved it
