Ogijima Island Ryokans

This was my favorite art installation on Ogijima, an island in the Seto Inland Sea. It was part of the art festival held every three years, Setouchi Triennale in 2013.

The gallery Memory Bottle was installed by Mayumi Kuri. Almost 1,000 bottles are on display, all with pictures or small trinkets inside. In her interview she says that she wanted to gather memories of the local people in Ogijima so she set up a collection box, asking people to put their memories in it. The bottles were lit up with lights and had everything from pictures to train tickets.

The gallery is still open even though the next Setouchi Triennale is not until 2016. If you want to see the art during the islands off season, now is the time to go :)

* 40min ferry ride from Takamatsu Port. It is about a 1.5hr flight from Tokyo to Takamatsu.

Top Ogijima Island Hotel Reviews

MY LODGE Naoshima

10/10 Excellent

"Nice view over the ocean"

Hotel Granvia Okayama

10/10 Excellent

"The bathroom was wonderful, with a tub, anti-fog function on the mirror, and bath salts provided. There was also a great coffee-maker and hot pot, with ceramic mugs and real glasses. I'm glad that the friend who was originally going to share the room was not able to come because the twin beds crammed up against the wall with no space around the back one would have made it very difficult to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. The lighting and TV were fine, but I would have like more counter space or a desk instead of just one very small round table and a very narrow shelf behind the bed to put things on."
