SETOUCHI & THE ARTS ISLANDS

Island-hopping across the Seto Inland Sea, where Naoshima, Teshima and Inujima hold some of the most quietly radical art spaces in the world. Ando’s Chichu Art Museum is built almost entirely underground around Monet’s water lilies. On Teshima, Ryue Nishizawa and Rei Naito’s art museum is a single concrete shell with water moving across the floor. Sleep at Benesse House to have the museum to yourself after closing. Best paired with a slow ferry schedule and two nights in Takamatsu.
