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.

"Do not stay here. More like a 1970s dormitory, the photos shown on the website are utterly misleading. I don’t even know where to start. Firstly, despite providing excessively detailed information online before checking in (to help ‘save time’ on arrival), we arrived late at night after navigating very narrow roads to get there and were met with an electronic check in system that not only required passport numbers and SCANS but took photos of all of us including four children.

"毎年友人6〜7人で宿泊させていただいています。今回4回目。すぐ裏はビーチ。今年からはSUPなんかのアクティビティもできるようになってました。キッチンもBBQ機材もありとても便利です。 (網と炭と着火剤はホームセンターでいつも買ってから行きます) 室内もきちんと清掃されていて清潔。広い和室に布団を敷けば8人充分寝られます。さらにお部屋2つあるので室内で宴会も。いちばんのポイントはお風呂、洗面、トイレといった水回りが綺麗でストレスがないこと。毎年最高の夏休みを過ごさせていただきありがとうございます。また来年もよろしくお願いします。"

Okayama Koraku Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is great, property is a little far to walk, but short to taxi. But easy to find. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet is well stocked with a variety of foods. Room is large enough to easily accommodate three people. The streetcar and bus stops are right at the corner, and a few convenience store options nearby. "
