We spend an incredible two days on Naoshima Island, the artists’ island where architect Tadao Ando designed the Benesse House Hotel, the Chichu Art Museum and the Lee Ufan Museum. We also loved Yayoi Kusama’s giant pumpkins.
Naoshima Island is the art island of Japan. It features both museums and outdoor sculpture. The influence of Japanese architect Tadao Ando can be felt everywhere. It can be a quick day trip from Osaka, Japan, but we recommend spending the night on Naoshima Island, especially if you get the chance to spend the night at th Benesse House hotel, a hotel designed by architect Tadao Ando on the Island on Naoshima.

Watching this video makes me miss Japan! Love Japan so much but haven’t been here in Naoshima! Love how colorful this outdoor museum can’t believe it’s for free! This hotel is pretty artsy and interesting! Is it expensive? You’re lucky you were both able to stay in this hotel!!!! I’m jealous 😢😢😢😢 cheers for sharing!
The giant pumpkin was so pretty, and love the idea of the coffee maker. Great to know this island, never been in Japan yet….. c/t
Wow guys that place looks amazing!!! I didn't know anything about that place, definitely I will add it to our list of places to visit in Japan!
I really miss japan. We visited 2 years ago and cant wait to go back 😖

woooooooooow. i'm definitely taking note of Naoshima Island when i head back to Japan in the future. love all the outdoor art pieces. the outdoor museum's free??? woah. the hotel looks so cool, the flags are an ant farm?? another woah. love how it has both the art style side with the museums and the traditional side with the town of Honmura. thanks for sharing! c/t
Wow what a great place and insane art you can see there 🙂
I just got back from Tokyo a few weeks ago and this is a whole different look to japan I didn’t get to see! I love the outdoor sculptures, very colorful and unique. Also the “ant farms” with the flags was pretty solid, thank you for sharing 🤙🏽
Ah japan love japan. I miss japan so much 🥺
Man some of the pieces on the wall were gorgeous. I have slowly grown to like art museums and such. Didnt really understand the stone was that just a bench or was that supposed to be a piece? lol the restaurant looked delicious I can eat Japanese food every day
Amazing Places 😍, I love it 👍
Wow I've never heard of this!! My dad is an architect, so this would be his dream destination. We will have to remember it in the future if we are in this area… esp. with my dad!
Everyone I spoke to about Japan says it's amazing
I really want to go
Even more after this!
Such a unique experience! Thanks for sharing.
Well that's it. I need flag ant farms! Awesome video guys! ❤
Hello from Takamatsu, just south of Naoshima! Thanks guys for such a great video. I'm so glad that you could enjoy Naoshima. But… there is still so much more to enjoy. Next time please come to Kagawa-ken, just a short ferry from Naoshima. Will link to your beautiful video and look forward to seeing more of your adventures!
Ahh what a cool place. We didn't go to any of Japans smaller Islands, really awesome hotel for you to stay at! The art looks really cool too, I love seeing art dotted around towns and cities, I think it's so inclusive for everyone to appreciate.
Tear open the coffee bag so that you can pour hot water over it 🙂
Wonderful!
I want to go here if I go to japan
