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.

"Terrible hotel, really. stay away from this property. Location is so bad, it is surrounded with industrial area. Hotel is very old and very dirty! Not something you see very often in Japan. The worst hotel in our trip in Japan. STAY AWAY from this place!"

"The location is great. The JR train station is just across the street, and lots of shops are in the station. The hotel's free, hot breakfast is wonderful and nutritious. My minor complaints are: The room decor is outdated and the bathroom sink drains a bit slow. But everything is well kept and clean. I love this hotel and keep coming back when I need to stay in Okayama."

"Perfect place to stay!"

"There is a machine used for check-in, so the process was very fast and easy. The hotel is a walkable distance from Okayama station and near the shopping street. The room was clean and there were amenities. The only issue was noise from the other guests could be heard from within the room, but it was okay with earplugs. Overall I enjoyed staying here."
