AN ISLAND DEDICATED TO CONTEMPORARY ART

Naoshima is a japanese island that is known for its modern art museums, architecture and sculpture.

The island, with its sandy beaches and sunny weather, combined with a laid back country feel is a relaxing getaway from Japan's large urban areas such as Tokyo. Much of Naoshima's art was installed by the Benesse Corporation, which oversees art museums, installations, and sculpture throughout the island. In addition, Naoshima's municipal buildings and schools were designed by the modern architect, ISHII KAZUHIRO.
