The summer period of the Setouchi International Art Festival 2022, which began on Friday, August 5th, has only three days left!

Most of the summer session, the daily heat makes it difficult to get around the island. Everyone is enjoying the art and nature while taking breaks in various places.

During the exhibition period, Naoshima will also be running temporary buses, and our staff members throughout the island will be working hard to assist you! Please feel free to approach us if you have lost anything or are having trouble. (We are seeing many lost items such as hats, umbrellas, and mobile phones!) Items that are delivered to the Tourist Association are also kept for a certain period. We can send items to you by cash on delivery, so please do not hesitate to inquire.

Lately, the wind has become quite cool in the mornings and evenings... signs of autumn can be felt everywhere. However, it's still hot during the day, so please be sure to take precautions against heatstroke and infectious diseases.

Let's look back a little at the summer session. This is a picture of us welcoming visitors on Saturday, August 6th.

Crowds around Obon!

The next autumn session will be from Thursday, September 29th to Sunday, November 6th!

During this period in Naoshima,

◆Miyanoura Gallery Rokku Setouchi " " Museum of Documents

◆Special exhibition of "Living" from The Naoshima Plan will be held.

The Naoshima Plan "Water" will also be held until the autumn exhibition this year.

Please check your transportation methods in advance, as some ferry routes and bus lines do not operate outside of the festival period.

Try planning a Setouchi trip to enjoy the art of autumn.
