Crucial Tips for Managing Luggage on Naoshima

To ensure a smooth trip across the island, keep these transit guidelines in mind:

Buses Restricted During Peak Times:The Naoshima Town Bus and Benesse Free Shuttle Bus have narrow aisles. Carrying large, hard-shell suitcases onto buses is discouraged and may be restricted during busy hours.
Store Luggage at Miyanoura First:Navigating the steep coastal roads near the Chichu Art Museum or walking through the narrow alleyways of the Honmura district is significantly easier without heavy bags.
Cash vs. Cashless Preparation:If using terminal lockers or rental shops, keep ¥100 coins ready. If you prefer paying by card or smartphone, head straight to the Naoshima Commerce & Industry Association lockers.
