Naoshima Bath "I♡Yu"
An art facility created by artist Shinro Ohtake that you can actually bathe in.
This public bath, created as a source of vitality for islanders and a place for exchange between locals and visitors from Japan and abroad, reflects the world of Shinro Ohtake not only in its exterior and interior, but also in its bathtubs, bath paintings, mosaic art, and even the toilet ceramics. Why not immerse yourself in the bath and experience art with your whole body?

Outdoor works
Yayoi Kusama "Red Pumpkin"
This is a work that Yayoi Kusama herself described as, "I searched for the 'red light' of the sun to the ends of the universe, and it transformed into a red pumpkin in the sea of Naoshima." Some of the polka dots, characteristic of Kusama's work, have been cut out, allowing you to enter the interior.
Sou Fujimoto "Naoshima Pavilion"
An object created to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Naoshima Town's municipal status.
This work was created with the concept of the "28th island" of the Naoshima Islands, which consist of 27 islands. It is composed of about 250 stainless steel nets and, like "Red Pumpkin," can be entered from the inside.
Jose de Guimaraes "BUNRAKU PUPPET"
"Naoshima Onna Bunraku," designated as an intangible cultural asset of Kagawa Prefecture.
A work created inspired by the beauty of the movement and the graceful handling of the kimono's hem. A tourist information sign made by the same artist is also displayed nearby.
