Inujima Island

Marc Vandercammen via Google Maps

Resting peacefully in the Seto Inland Sea, Inujima is a captivating island celebrated for transforming its historic seaside landscape into a dynamic open-air canvas for modern art. As a featured venue of the renowned Setouchi Triennale, the island invites visitors to wander through imaginative exhibits integrated into former industrial ruins and quiet village alleys. Named after a natural coastal rock resembling a sitting dog, its compact size allows for an easy and tranquil walking tour. It offers an intimate, atmospheric art pilgrimage that feels worlds away from the ordinary.
