Japan includes thousands of islands, and among them the tiny Island of Naoshima features many unique artistic creations. It showcases a huge variety of masterpieces from ancient temples and the modern architecture of Tadao Ando, to the Water Lilies of Monet and a host of other international artworks. Giant pumpkin sculptures in the most lurid colours lurk in some unexpected places around the island. It really deserves a visit!
