Getting There

• Ferry and Bus

  From Naoshima Island, you will first need to take a ferry from Miyanoura Port to Takamatsu Port. The ferry ride typically takes about 50 minutes and costs around 1,400 JPY for a one-way ticket. Once you arrive at Takamatsu Port, exit the terminal and walk to the Takamatsu Station (approx. 20 minutes on foot or a short taxi ride). From Takamatsu Station, take a local train to Kurashiki Station, which takes about 1 hour and costs around 1,500 JPY. Upon arriving at Kurashiki Station, you can catch a local bus or take a taxi to the Kurashiki Archaeological Museum located at 1 Chome-3-13 Central, which is about 10 minutes away by bus or taxi.

• Car

  If you have access to a car while on Naoshima Island, you can drive to Miyanoura Port where you will park your vehicle. Take the ferry from Miyanoura Port to Takamatsu Port, which takes about 50 minutes. The cost for the ferry is approximately 1,400 JPY for a one-way trip. After arriving at Takamatsu Port, follow the signs to the main road and use a navigation app to drive to Kurashiki, which is about a 30-minute drive from the port. Once you reach Kurashiki, navigate to the Kurashiki Archaeological Museum located at 1 Chome-3-13 Central. There are parking facilities available near the museum.

• Taxi

  If you prefer a more direct route, you can take a taxi from your location on Naoshima Island to Miyanoura Port and then take the ferry to Takamatsu. Once at Takamatsu, you can either take a taxi directly to the Kurashiki Archaeological Museum or go to Kurashiki Station and take a local taxi from there. This option may be more expensive, as taxi fares from Naoshima to Miyanoura Port can vary depending on the distance, and the taxi ride from Takamatsu to the museum will also add to your costs.
