Get Your Guide to the Island: The Official “Finding Naoshima” Print Brochure is Here!
Naoshima is an island that rewards the curious. While digital maps are helpful, there is something timeless and tactile about holding a beautifully designed guide in your hands as you navigate the concrete corridors of Ando architecture or the coastal paths of the Seto Inland Sea.
Following our successful first year—hosting over 30 private groups and sharing the deeper philosophy of the island—Finding Naoshima is thrilled to announce the launch of our official print brochure.
As we continue to grow, we want to ensure that every visitor has access to the same high-quality insights we provide in our digital media. Whether you are a solo traveler or part of a private group, our new brochure is designed to be your essential companion on the “Art Island.”
What’s Inside? More Than Just a Map
Our new brochure isn’t just a list of sites; it is a curated extension of the Finding Naoshima experience. We have distilled our most popular digital content into a physical format that you can carry in your pocket.
- The “Finding Naoshima” Philosophy: Learn about the history of the island, from its industrial roots to the birth of the “Naoshima Plan”…. etc
- Private Tour Insights: A glimpse into our tailor-made itineraries that help you maximize your time and avoid the crowds at iconic spots like the Yellow Pumpkin and Chichu Art Museum.
Where to Find Us: Pick Up Your Copy Across the Island
We believe in being part of the local community. To make your journey smoother, we are placing our brochures in key locations throughout the island and the surrounding ports.
Keep an eye out for the minimalist Finding Naoshima design at:
- Ferry Terminals: Miyanoura and Honmura ports.
- Local Cafes & Restaurants: We are partnering with our favorite local eateries in the Honmura and Miyanoura areas.
- Information Centers: Major hubs where travelers gather to plan their day.
If you see our brochure while grabbing a coffee or waiting for a ferry, please feel free to take one! It’s designed to be a beautiful souvenir of your trip as much as it is a functional guide.
Elevate Your Experience with a Private Guide
While our brochure provides a great starting point, the true magic of Naoshima lies in the stories that aren’t written down. Our private tours offer a deep dive into the “moving materials” of the island—the wind, water, and spirit that Hiroshi Sambuichi and Tadao Ando have captured in their work.
Having hosted dozens of international groups from the US, Canada, Australia, and beyond, we know how to bridge the gap between global art and local Japanese culture.
