Bennesse Art Site, Naoshima, Japan
Benesse Art Site Naoshima is an art project developed on the small islands of Naoshima, Teshima and Inujima through collaboration between Benesse Holdings, Inc. and Fukutake Foundation. Among these islands, Naoshima — with a population about 3,000 residents — is a special place where people can enjoy Contemporary arts and architectural works in a splendid setting of ocean and mountain views, which has become a popular destination for international visitors. In contrast, Teshima Island, a homey place that preserves its local lifestyle amid unspoiled natural beauty, offers opportunities for artistic appreciation through its three art museums and more.
