From the Tsutsuji-so bus stop, (last stop from Miyanoura port), a free shuttle bus operated by Benesse art site will take you to Benesse house, Lee Ufan museum, and Chi Chu art museum. I didn’t make it in one day for 3 museums, but one each day after came back from nearby island in the evening.
They were all designed by Tadao Ando, a very well-known Japanese architect who wins the Pritzker years ago. He is famous for his signature concrete and stunning spaces within.
Chi Chu Art Museum is the one I appreciated most. All of the art works and how they were exhibited in each individual space are so impressive. Getting to have experienced them all was very satisfied and worthy. Claude Monet’s waterlilies were hanging in a very subtle light room. James Turrell’s open sky, Walter de Maria’s Time/Timeless/No Time, … It was a little disappointing that camera is prohibited, but understandable, I do believe that the atmosphere in the museum wouldn’t be like that if they allowed people to shoot anyway they like.
I feel sorry I couldn’t help myself using iPhone snap some scenes.
Lee Ufan Museum is the one and only museum that exhibited the work of Lee Ufan, Korean minimalist painter and sculptor. I do not know his name before planning to visit the island, but I did a little research. His work here are mainly about stone and steel, minimal steel sculpture, paintings that used various size of stone as a brush, they were interesting though.

Benesse House, Benesse Art museum, and so on. Including hotel, restaurant, cafe, shop, and art space. I’d highly recommend to spend a night at the Benesse hotel for anyone who can afford. There is some space that only hotel guests can visit. I, someday, would love to visit as a hotel guest again.
