Eastward
A four-day voyage to enjoy Setouchi art island-hopping
Beginning in 1985, the island of Naoshima has been reimagined as a cultural village where visitors can reflect on the human world in spaces where nature, history, and contemporary art intersect. The transformation of Naoshima led many islands and locales in the eastern Setouchi region to welcome and support artists from across Japan and overseas, with more than ten significant art islands today. This route will visit Naoshima and Teshima, two of the islands emblematic of the Inland Sea’s art culture, as well as other islands such as Shodoshima, Megijima, and Ogijima. Over two days, we will explore the best art sites of the season for a fulfilling artistic experience of Setouchi.
