Himeji Castle toursSailing from Himeji: An Art Voyage: Naoshima Setouchi Triennale Trip with Guided Visit to Himeji

Set sail from Himeji Port on a special charter cruise and embark on an art-filled journey across the serene waters of the Seto Inland Sea. Your destination is Naoshima, one of the main venues of the world-famous Setouchi Triennale. Here, contemporary art, architecture, and nature come together to create experiences found nowhere else.
Choose from a day trip or an overnight plan. Those on the overnight plan will return to Himeji Port and stay at a comfortable city hotel. On the following morning, enjoy a guided visit to Himeji Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Japan’s most iconic castle. After exploring the castle, why not take a stroll through the nearby Otemae Park, where local events such as the National Pottery Fair and the Himeji Confectionery Festival take place?
This two-day journey invites you to immerse yourself in art and heritage, and to experience the beauty of Japan’s autumn through a truly special voyage.
