Good to know

• Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
• If the Naoshima New Museum is closed, we will visit the Art House Project instead. In that case, the attendant will purchase the tickets on the day of the tour. You may visit the art houses of your choice, except for 'Minamidera' and 'Kinza,' which require advanced reservations.
• For guests departing from Kyoto: We will be taking the 8:01 AM Shinkansen to Himeji. As the meeting point is a short walk from the platform, please ensure you arrive by 7:40 AM at the meeting point.
• Please arrive 20 minutes before departure (the meeting time is at 7:40 in Kyoto and at 9:05 in Himeji)
• As ferry boarding cannot be reserved, if the bus is unable to board due to high traffic, we will proceed to board on foot. We will then use local transportation for the tour on Naoshima.
• If you are late for the tour start time, you will not be able to join the tour midway.
• If you decide to leave the tour midway, we will not be able to give you the return Shinkansen (bullet train) ticket
• We suggest buying lunch beforehand or at a service area to maximize sightseeing time (you can eat it inside the bus)
