Honmura Art Village

本村地区

Kagawa · Shikoku

Honmura is Naoshima’s quiet art village, where contemporary installations are woven into old homes, shrines, and narrow residential streets. Explore the Art House Project’s seven site-specific works, including Minamidera and Go’o Shrine, then wander the village’s traditional lanes at a slower pace.

Why it's hidden

Many travelers focus on more famous destinations in Kagawa, overlooking this charming district.
