The Art House Project is really a great attraction for the island and highly recommended for anyone wanting to wander around a bit and simply enjoy art for art’s sake. No need to concern yourself with art critics who take themselves too seriously. This is refreshing, fun, varied, and a great treasure hunt. Don't let anyone steal your pleasure and tell you it isn't "art worthy". The Minamidera was so cool.... as an experience, and being "in the art", it is a must see, even if you have to wait a little to get inside. You won't forget it, or regret it.

This fiberglass red pumpkin welcomed us to Naoshima, the art island, as soon as our ferry from Uno entered Miyanoura Port. Placed at the water's edge, the 13-feet-high work by Japanese artist Yayaoi Kusama features her trademark polka dots. Big and black, some are actually holes that visitors can peer through from inside for a photo. Created in 2006, the interactive art piece has openings to enter and to exit and plenty of room in the empty interior. Children and adults seemed to be having much fun investigating the sculpture (touching permitted). I thought the scenes of the island when looking out provided good photo ops in addition to what are available from the exterior. Though the popular piece beckons immediately when leaving the ferry, those in a time crunch for catching a bus may want to wait to visit until their return. Akakabocha is one of two pumpkin sculptures by Kusama on the island. The other, Yellow Pumpkin, stands on an old wharf that extends from a sandy beach and faces the Benesse Hotel. That pumpkin is not an interactive creation.

This piece of Art is fairly close to the Ferry Pier. It's fun to pay a visit & take pictures inside and outside.
