A visit to Naoshima in Kagawa Prefecture wouldn’t be complete without a day or two at Benesse Art Site Naoshima. This contemporary art and architecture facility blends together with the pristine nature of the Seto Inland Sea to create a place for guests to stay overnight. Conceptualized in 1985, Benesse Art Site Naoshima opened its doors in 1992. Since that time there have been numerous projects toward bettering the art site as well as local communities.
