Recommendation
of Naoshima
-
- Chichu Art Museum
- A museum where most of the buildings are buried underground so as not to spoil the landscape of the island.The works of the three artists are permanently exhibited in the building designed by Tadao Ando.It is also attractive that the appearance of the work changes with time due to the natural light shining down even though it is underground.

-
- Benesse House
- A facility that integrates the functions of a museum and a hotel. In addition to the four accommodation buildings, there are restaurants and shops that can be used by the general public.Designed by Tadao Ando to harmonize with the surrounding environment over time with the concept of "coexistence of nature, architecture and art."

-
- Art House Project
- It is being developed in the Naoshima / Honmura area where people still live. This is a project to renovate an old house and make the space itself into a work.Seven houses such as "Kadoya" and "Minamidera" are open to the public, creating a place for residents and visitors to meet.
