Art Island Center

Books and food, including vegetarian options. Had a lovely visit here. Worth stopping by if you're able.

An excellent book and stationary store (amongst other things). Very lovely staff too.

Andrew and its shop is a treat - I highly recommend going there and check around what he has to offer. On top of very cool books and artworks, Andrew is always here to help on giving local tips, it will be a cool chat to have anyway !

A nice spot to stop for a snack and a cool drink or coffee. Excellent foccacia (vegan option available too!) Supports local artists.

Some really cool books, stationary and gifts and was great to have a chat with the owner. We will have to come back when the cafe is open!

Naoshima Island is a Japanese gem. This art-centric island in the Seto Inland Sea is a mesmerizing blend of nature and creativity. Its pristine beaches and serene landscapes provide a peaceful retreat, while the art installations and museums, like the famous Chichu Art Museum and Benesse House, offer thought-provoking experiences. The island is a living canvas, with sculptures and contemporary art seamlessly integrated into the environment. Biking around the island reveals unexpected art at every turn. Naoshima's charm lies in its harmonious coexistence of art and nature, making it a truly unique destination for culture and tranquility seekers alike.

This small bookstore it’s a magic place. Lots of wonderful things to discover and the owner is warm and super helpful. Thank you!!

自家製パンの美味しいサンドイッチとアメリカンクッキー、オリジナルのスペシャルティーコーヒーを楽しめます。（TAKE OUT OK） アートブックや文房具、ポストカードを販売していて、絵画やインスタレーションなどの美術作品を展示していることがあります。直島の情報をチェックしたり、お土産を買うことができますので、とてもオススメのお店です！
