Benesse House Museum
It is a facility integrating a museum with a hotel, based on the concept of "coexistence of nature, art and architecture," and designed by Tadao Ando. In addition to exhibiting the painting, sculpture, photography, and installations in its collection, the Museum also contains permanent site-specific installations that artists have created especially for the building, selecting locations on their own and designing the works for those spaces. The Museum's artworks are found not just within its galleries, but in all parts of the building, as well as in scattered locations along the seashore that borders the complex and in the nearby forest.
You can visit the Valley Gallery (Fee: Included in the Benesse House Museum entrance fee).

Art House Project
Art House Project (ticket include: Multi - Site Ticket, not every site./1050JPY)
The Art House Project is an art project underway in Naoshima's Honmura district. It began in 1998 with Kadoya, and currently comprises seven locations: Kadoya, Minamidera, Kinza, Go'o Shrine, Ishibashi, Gokaisho, and Haisha. In this project, artists take empty houses scattered about residential areas and turn the spaces themselves into works of art, weaving in history and memories of the period when the buildings were lived in and used.
