A cosy Japanese neighbourhood restaurant where every dish is prepared with local and fresh ingredients from the island. Stop by here after visiting the Art Museum to refuel and to enjoy some good old-fashioned people watching.
A spectacular space by architect Ryue Nishizawa and unique artwork by Rei Nato. Spend an hour lying or sitting down in the serene art piece and you leave the space calm and enlightened. This wonderful museum is truly a journey of serenity. The museum cafe has delicious snacks and coffee.
The latest addition to Naoshima's art destination status is the brutalist-style Naoshima New Museum of Art, which is dedicated to contemporary works by Asian artists and designed by celebrated Japanese architect Tadao Ando. Found on a hilltop near the Honmura District and as the first museum to share the island's name, it's a space created to connect art, architecture, nature and community.
A cosy farmhouse eatery with homey specialities and good coffee. This charming local eatery is a great place to refuel in between museums on Naoshima island.
More than just a place to stay, the Ryokan Roka feels like a luxurious escape. Nestled in an idyllic landscape, for the art buffs and design lovers out there this place is a true wonder. Making it all too easy to retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life; admire the nature, take a dip in your open-air bath, before dining on some of the tastiest Japanese cuisine.
