Seto inland sea travel guide

Speaking of Seto Inland Sea in Japan, you must have heard of this place. This place is full of artistic flavor, and an international art festival is held every three years. At this time, it is also very lively. So, what are we doing here? Let's get to know it together!

Naoshima

Speaking of Naoshima, even if you have never been here, you must know the scenic spots here, but there are pumpkins called the end of the world here! Now, this sculpture has also become one of the representatives of Seto Inland Sea!

There are two kinds of pumpkin sculptures: yellow and red. The yellow pumpkin here is located at the end of the path from Naoshima to the center of the sea, and the red pumpkin is located at the BenesseHouse beach pier here. Two pumpkins are quietly sitting by the sea, watching the ebb and flow of the sea!

Here in Naoshima, besides pumpkins, there are three buildings that cannot be ignored. They are Behnes House, Dizhong Art Museum and Li Yuhuan Art Museum in An Teng.

These three buildings combine the natural environment and artificial art, cleverly borrowing light and wind, bringing people a comfortable sense of art! You can enjoy these works of art here!

Toyoshima

When it comes to Toyoshima, it's about the art museum here. The exterior of the art museum here looks like a huge water drop. Blending with the surrounding natural scenery, the white building has no columns, and the building is very strange!

Especially when it rains, it is the most wonderful. There is a hole in the ceiling here, so it will rain, and the ground here does not absorb water, so the raindrops proudly keep their own appearance and flow around like this, which is very interesting!

Being in this art museum is like being in nature. Birds chirp in their ears, their faces feel the breeze, and their skin feels the warm sunshine. This cozy and comfortable, this warm vision is a rare building!

In addition, there is a special place on this island, which is a place to collect the heartbeat of people all over the world. When you come here, every time you walk into the cloister, you can hear the heartbeat of others and feel the power of life and emotion!

There is also the Tadanori Yokoo Art Museum, which is located in the ancient community near Gapu Port of Toyota. The whole building is characterized by life and death.
