Japan Trip: Chichu Art Museum Surrounded nature. Naoshima, Kagawa, Japan
【★010★Kagawa Naoshima Island Chichu Art Museum】
Subscribe link :
The Chichu Art Museum (地中美術館, Chichū Bijutsukan) is a unusual modern art museum built into a hillside overlooking the southern coast of Naoshima. The museum building, designed by Ando Tadao and itself a work of art, is mostly located underground and solely utilizes natural light to illuminate the artwork. This creates a viewing experience that is deeply influenced by the surrounding natural environment.
The museum has been built around quite a small collection of art. The first gallery shows large murals from Claude Monet's Water Lilies series. This is followed by a few works by James Turrell, who uses light as a medium. They include the Open Sky room from his Skyspaces series which has sister exhibits around the world including the 21st Century Museum in Kanazawa. Finally, the deepest part of the Chichu Museum houses the Time/Timeless/No Time installation by Walter De Maria.
Tickets are purchased at the museum's ticket center which is located a short walk downhill from the museum entrance. The ticket center has a small cafe and waiting area as only a limited number of visitors are allowed to the museum at one time. There are also coin lockers available since bags and cameras are not allowed in the museum and must be stowed before entering.
Access info There are one or two buses per hour from Miyanoura Ferry Terminal via Honmura to the Tsutsujiso bus stop at the east gate of the Benesse House (15 minutes, 100 yen), from where it is possible to walk (30 minutes) or take a free shuttle bus to the Chichu Art Museum (10 minutes). Or the museum is about a two kilometer bicycle ride (10 minutes) or walk (30-40 minutes) from the Miyanoura ferry terminal.
From the Chichu Art Museum it is just a few minutes on the free shuttle bus to either the Lee Ufan Museum or the Benesse House. It is also possible to walk between the museums (5 and 15 minutes respectively).

直島 Naoshima
| 地中美術館 | 很美！美到不行！個人覺得是人生必來之美術館，我還想再去一次。
| Benesse House Museum | 很可惜到直島的時節正在休館中，飯店頗貴，但官網照片房間美景也美。
| 李禹煥美術館 | 跟地中一樣是安藤忠雄的建築，裡面展出李禹煥作品，算是一個很小的美術館。
豐島 Teshima
| 豐島橫偉館 | 滿有趣的日式建築結合藝術行程的空間，有不現實的感覺。
| 午餐 | 在豐島橫偉館旁邊的小店，只有一種套餐，很家常感但十分好吃！
| 豐島美術館 | 空間很美，冬天淡季人極少很舒服，大家都很隨性的在觀察水滴，在這坐著時間一下就過去了。

Naoshima 直島 - Japó 日本
Naoshima is an island located in the Seto Inland Sea of Japan. It is renowned for its collection of contemporary art galleries and exhibits.
Naoshima is best known for the Benesse House complex. There has been extensive domestic attention to the Chichu Art Museum completed in 2006. The island itself has been settled as long as there have been Japanese. The original settlement is the now-diminuitive fishing port of Tsumuura. The most prominent settlement on the island is Honmura which was established as a coastal castle town (warring states) period (1467-1568). A number of houses in this town have been radically reformed in the Art House Project. Miyanoura
23 Naoshima, l'isola dell’ arte《香川県》
Naoshima Art Benesse è una sede per attività artistiche localizzata sull’isola di Naoshima nella provincia di Kagawa. C’è un parco sulla spiaggia che si affaccia sul mare interno dove vi sono alcune opere esposte all’aperto. Questi lavori, progettati per avere un’armonia con la natura, sfoggiano aspetti diversi tra il susseguirsi dei cambi stagionali, facendo si che le persone possano rendersi conto della natura che circonda l’uomo. La Casa Benesse, edificio centrale della sede, è stata costruita con il concetto di co-esistenza tra natura, architettura ed arte, ed incorpora caratteristiche dell’ambiente naturale dell'isola. Gli edifici sono stati disegnati da Ando Tadao. I lavori che gli artisti hanno preparato apposta per il centro sono perennemente in mostra. Il museo Chichu Art, specificamente stabilito come luogo per contemplare natura ed uomo, è situato nella parte meridionale di Naoshima. Sono esposti opere di artisti come Claude Monet, Walter de Maria e James Turrell.
Il Progetto Casa è un progetto dove gli artisti rimodellano antiche case giapponesi e le trasformano in opere d’arte. Vi è anche un Archivio dove sono tenuti e registrati tutti i documenti riguardanti il centro. Naoshima Art Benesse continua la sua attività come sede per un arte creativa, dove, con i ritmi naturali dettati dal mare interno Seto, fa risuonare la storia e l’arte.

Japan Vlog • Part 2 • Naoshima, Michelin-Star Instant Noodles, Foot Sap Sheets
Hey everyone! I'm back with part 2 of our Japan vlogs. We took a quick 2-night side trip to Naoshima, which is a beautiful island filled with modern art. It was amazing, and I'd love to go back one day to visit the other islands. While in Naoshima, Hubby and I found some Michelin-Star instant noodles. I wish we had brought a bigger luggage so we could bring some back, but alas they were too bulky. Next time! We also tried foot sap sheets, which Hubby saw people buying up in boxes. Have any of you tried these before? Thanks so much for watching! x
