Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

With its island sunshine and its sandy beaches, Naoshima Island has a surprisingly Mediterranean feel, but it's better known for its vibrant art scene. The Benesse House Museum has a wonderful collection of contemporary sculptures and paintings, while the Chichu Art Museum boasts lush gardens and a handful of Monet paintings. Some of the abandoned houses throughout the town have been converted into art installations, and even the traditional Japanese activity of soaking in the bathhouse has an artistic bent to it here; the I Love Yu bathhouse was designed by artist Otake Shinro, and it allows visitors to bathe while surrounded by original artwork.
