Go'o Shrine
Honmura, a small port town on Naoshima's eastern coast, is home to the Art House Project, a collection of houses, workshops, a temple and a shrine that have been converted into art installations and venues for modern art by famous Japanese artists and architects.
The various structures are scattered throughout town, and most of the art houses are unassuming from the street, perfectly blending into the surrounding traditional Japanese neighborhoods. The interior of each has been given over to a famous Japanese artist to convert into whatever suits their artistic vision. For some of the projects, such as Go'o Shrine, the structure itself is the art.
The Honmura Lounge, located just off the main street through Honmura Town, serves as an archive and information center for the Art House Project. Here you can find material on the artists and architects involved with the project as well as information on the various art houses.
Tickets can be purchased at any of the art houses, the Benesse House, the Honmura Lounge and at various shops and cafes throughout town. The Kinzan art house can only be viewed by making special advance reservations.
