Local Pick
Overview
Art island of 230 residents with 22 installations, no traffic lights, and coastal sculpture walks.
A 20-minute ferry from Isshiki Port delivers visitors to an island of 230 residents, no traffic lights, and 22 contemporary art installations scattered along coastal paths. The most photographed piece, 'Ohirune House,' is a jet-black cubic structure perched on the shoreline. Cat-lined fishing lanes, abandoned schoolrooms turned galleries, and wild-herb foraging walks fill a quiet day.
