Naoshima, known as Japan's 'Art Island,' features a unique blend of contemporary art and traditional architecture within the Seto Inland Sea. This selection highlights the Tadao Ando-designed Chichu Art Museum, built entirely underground to preserve the natural landscape, and the Benesse House Museum. It also explores the Art House Project in the Honmura district, where abandoned residences have been transformed into immersive installations by artists like James Turrell and Hiroshi Sugimoto, alongside the functional, collage-style Naoshima Bath.
