The museum features special exhibitions with a primary focus on contemporary artists from across Asia and Japan.

Benesse House MuseumVisit Benesse House, one of Naoshima Island’s most iconic architectural landmarks. Designed by Tadao Ando in 1992, Benesse House serves as both a hotel and a museum, hosting various artworks and exhibitions. The building itself is a masterpiece, featuring large open spaces that seamlessly connect the structure with the surrounding nature. Its position on high ground overlooks the picturesque scenery of the Seto Inland Sea. Artworks are found not only within the galleries but throughout the entire building, as well as along the seashore and in the nearby forest.
-
Designed by the legendary architect Tadao Ando, Valley Gallery is a serene sanctuary nestled in the lush valleys of Naoshima. As the ninth Ando-designed structure on the island, this "shrine-like" gallery seamlessly blends contemporary art with the surrounding nature. It features iconic installations such as Yayoi Kusama’s Narcissus Garden, where countless stainless steel spheres reflect the shifting light and seasons, creating a meditative experience for every visitor.
-
After enjoying Benesse House Museum, we will accompany you to the famous Red Pumpkin by Yayoi Kusama at Miyanoura Port. You will have some time to take pictures and buy some souvenirs.
