De beste severdighetene i Naoshima

Naoshima Essentials

Naoshima is a transformative art destination in the Seto Inland Sea, defined by the minimalist concrete architecture of Tadao Ando. This collection covers the island's major cultural landmarks, including the subterranean Chichu Art Museum and the Art House Project in Honmura, where abandoned residences are repurposed as permanent installations. Key outdoor sculptures, such as Yayoi Kusama’s yellow pumpkin, line the coast, while the Naoshima Bath offers a functional, artist-designed communal bathing experience.
