Town bus

We operate between Miyaura Port, the ferry terminal, and Tsutsujiso, passing through the Honmura district where the Art House Project is located. Beyond Tsutsujiso is the museum area. From Tsutsujiso onwards, please travel on foot or use the "Benesse Art Site Naoshima on-site shuttle bus."
The town bus is a community bus that serves as a lifeline for town residents, with bus stops located throughout Naoshima. You might even have fun interactions with fellow town residents on board. The town bus has a capacity of 28 people, so it may be full at times. If you cannot get on board, you may have to wait for the next bus.For groups of 10 or more, please contact the Naoshima Town Tourism Association (087-892-2299) in advance.状況により臨時バスを運行します。ただし、臨時便の運行ができない時間帯もございます。また、臨時便を運行しても乗り切れない場合は、次便までおまちいただくことになります。土日祝日の午後のつつじ荘~農協前~宮浦港間 の バス便は非常に混雑し、乗り切れない場合がありますのでご注意ください。美術館の予約時間及びフェリー等への乗船の責任は負いません。 

The fare is 100 yen per ride for adults (junior high school students and above), and 50 yen for children aged 5 to elementary school students and individuals with a disability certificate (including one accompanying person). No tickets are required; please deposit coins into the fare box when you alight. (There is no change machine, so please have coins ready before boarding.)

We strive to ensure comfortable travel for customers in wheelchairs, but depending on the number of passengers, vehicle equipment, and operating conditions, we may not be able to accommodate them. Therefore, customers planning to use the town bus in a wheelchair are requested to contact the Naoshima Town Tourism Association (TEL: 087-892-2299) in advance.

Town Bus Timetable

The town bus's final stop is Tsutsujiso. The museum area beyond Tsutsujiso (Benesse Art Site Naoshima) is also within the Setonaikai National Park area, and Benesse Art Site Naoshima recommends enjoying the scenery and outdoor artworks while walking. The number of shuttle buses within the site is limited, and while additional buses are added during peak season, not everyone will be able to board.
