I plan to visit Naoshima Island to immerse myself in its renowned art scene and breathtaking landscapes. It's a perfect destination for a freelance photographer like me, offering a unique blend of contemporary art installations and serene natural beauty. Visiting from July 5th to July 18th, I look forward to exploring the island's outdoor sculptures and museums, capturing the vibrant mix of art and nature through my lens. Staying at My Lodge Naoshima, which offers budget-friendly accommodations with easy access to the island's attractions, will allow us to enjoy the local culture without stretching our budget. Traveling with my husband, Liam, makes this journey even more special as we share our passion for adventure and discovery.
