Japan’s Setouchi region is renowned for stunning artwork, unspoilt nature, and a supremely tranquil atmosphere. Destination Asia Japan has curated a series of new multi-day packages to showcase each of those three outstanding qualities.
The first program, Naoshima and Teshima Art Explorations, takes travellers on a tour of both iconic islands, celebrated for their world-class museums and art installations. Afterwards, guests can enjoy a luxurious private afternoon tea cruise and a rejuvenating wellness experience at a traditional onsen.
The Art, Islands, and Zen itinerary provides a guided introduction to the ancient discipline of zazen meditation and a tour of the unforgettably scenic town of Onomichi. Taking in the equally ravishing beauty of Ikuchijima island with an overnight stay, the trip also features a lunch cruise and an exploration of Naoshima’s cutting-edge art scene
Then there’s the Miyajima and Luxury Art Retreat, which takes visitors to view Iwakuni’s historic Kintaikyo Bridge, an acknowledged architectural masterpiece. This is followed by a tour of a local distillery that produces a superb Japanese gin. The trip also includes a stay at Simose Art Garden Villa, recently crowned the world’s most beautiful museum by UNESCO’s Versailles Awards, and a day trip to the sacred island of Miyajima by private boat
Each package offers a unique way to be immersed in the Setouchi region’s unparalleled beauty and cultural richness, ensuring an unforgettable journey.
