... and explore this beautiful Seto Inland Sea region!
Uno Slope House offers more than just proximity to Naoshima's internationally renowned modern art museums and  the art house project (Chichu Museum, Benesse House Art Museum designed by Tadao Ando). Here you also have easy access to beautiful islands in the Seto Inland Sea which the American writer Donald Richie described as "a place modernity passed by" in his book "The Inland Sea."
 The Setouchi International Art Festival will take place in the summer of 2010 throughout the seven islands in the Seto Inland Sea from July 19th to October 31st for 100 days. Keep it mind that Uno port has direct access to Teshima island and Shodo-shima island, two of the seven islands, besides the shortest ferry ride to Naoshima island.
During the art festival, the other four islands, Inujima, Ogijima, Megijima, and Oshima are also accessible via Naoshima island. And these are the artists who will put, and some of them alredy working on, their works on those islands. (Get a scale of the festival? Staying longer... make sense?)

The area called "Kojima," where Uno Slope House is located, used to be an island. It was said that Kojima was the 9th-born island in the birth of Japan, according to KOJI-KI - Japan's oldest ancient chronicle edited in the eighth century. Several Buddhist temples close to Uno Slope House are part of the Kojima 88 Pilgrimage route where you see the pilgrims in white lobes passing through. |
