Art Island Naoshima BROMPTON Slow Cycling Tour

About this experience

In principle, reservations are for two persons or more. This tour is a leisurely bicycle trip that combines British-made folding bicycle BROMPTON and public transportation, which is different from the usual cycling tour. Even if you are not a cyclist and you are not very confident in your physical fitness, the guide will support you so that you can take a tour without difficulty.

What to expect

In principle, reservations are for two persons or more. This is a leisurely bicycle walk around Naoshima, which is famous for the Setouchi Art Island. Take the ferry from Takamatsu Port to Naoshima's Miyanoura Port with your bike. Upon disembarking, the iconic red pumpkin—Naoshima's symbol—greets you. With countless Instagram-worthy artworks scattered throughout the town, stop at photo spots along the way and capture plenty of stylish memories with your BROMPTON! The Honmura area on the island's east side, where you can enjoy the “House Project,” is perfect for strolling through its intricate back alleys, stopping at your favorite shops, and discovering street art around every corner. From there, you can also visit the internationally renowned ※Chichu Art Museum and ※Benesse House Museum to experience their overwhelming spatial art. For the return trip, take a different route back to Miyanoura Port. Then, enjoy the sunset over the Seto Inland Sea from the ferry as you head back to Takamatsu Port. Enjoy this art island to the fullest—it feels like stepping into another world!
