Naoshima New Museum of Art
The Naoshima New Museum of Art, opened in 2025, marks a new chapter in the Benesse Art Site Naoshima project, an art initiative spanning more than 35 years across the islands of Naoshima, Teshima, and Inujima in the Seto Inland Sea.
Tadao Ando's architecture really lets the light take center stage. Everything feels perfectly balanced.
Hagi Castle Town
Hagi prospered for 260 years as a castle town after Mori Terumoto built Hagi Castle in 1604. White or earthen walls and black board hedges line the beautiful town, which has preserved the townscape from Edo Period so well that people say, “You can use the map from Edo Period to this day.”
Walking through the streets of Hagi Castle Town, you can really feel the strong sense of history. The well-preserved buildings and street layout make it feel like you've stepped back into the Edo period.
Daikanyama T-SITE
A multi-facility complex centered around a large bookstore, with several specialty stores. The heart of the complex, 'Daikanyama Tsutaya Books,' consists of buildings 1-3 and offers a rich selection of books on themes such as literature, art, travel, cooking, and foreign languages.
The atmosphere here is perfect for relaxing and reflecting. It's a great spot to take your time and just unwind.
