【DETAILS】 

The Setouchi Region has been drawing global attention for the recent revival and renewed interest in art that has struck its islands. Along with Setouchi's International Art Festival, each of Setouchi's Inland Islands has strived to promote its region through art. In fact, the small island of Kosaki, with a population of under 10 people, was recently chosen as a pre-venue for the Hiroshima Triennale 2020, a festival of modern art in the Hiroshima area. 

This island-hopping cruise will explore both Kosaki Island and Momo Island and the ways its promoting and reviving art in the region. 

The tour will start from Mihara Port, a 5-minute walk from Mihara Station. Mihara Station once thrived as a castle town in earlier days, but it is now known to be conveniently located near a shinkansen (bullet train). Kosaki Island is 15-minutes from the Mihara Port, making it the island closest to a shinkansen station. 

The captain of the cruise boat will guide everyone to and from the island(s). We will also be loading bicycles onto the boat so that you may enjoy cycling within the island(s) after we land.
