Cosa lo rende speciale
Su Naoshima
To make your stay in Naoshima even more fulfilling, here are a few tips:
- Capture the 'Red Pumpkin': This iconic Yayoi Kusama piece at Miyanoura Port is the symbol of the island. It is best photographed during bright daylight.
- Utilize Rental Bicycles: A bicycle is the most efficient way to move around the island. Since there are many slopes, an electric-assist bicycle is highly recommended.
- Focus on Architectural Design: Experience the spatial beauty of works by world-renowned architects like SANAA and Sou Fujimoto up close.
- Enjoy the Evening Illumination: Nighttime displays, such as at the Naoshima Pavilion, offer a mystical experience quite different from the daytime.
- Walk Through Traditional Streets: Stroll through old settlements like the Honmura district to soak in the unique atmosphere where art and history coexist.
