Next, travel by shinkansen (bullet train) and ferry to Naoshima
Island, a magnificent contemporary art destination located in the Seto
Inland Sea. Stay at Benesse House, a Tadao Ando-designed boutique
hotel and contemporary art museum perched like a modernist stone
castle on a ridge high above the sea. Explore Benesse Art Site and see
artwork by important artists such as Richard Long and Hiroshi Sugimoto
inside the museum, and installations by Yayoi Kusama, Cai Guo-Qiang
and others along the waterfront below. Visit Art House Projects, where
installations by James Turrell and others inhabit buildings? some
hundreds of years old, some brand new?in one of the island's local
villages. Dine on kaiseki (seasonal tasting menu) cuisine each night.
One day, journey across the Inland Sea to Takamatsu on Shikoku Island
to tour the Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum and Studio.
