This was my favorite art installation on Ogijima, an island in the Seto Inland Sea. It was part of the art festival held every three years, Setouchi Triennale in 2013.

The gallery Memory Bottle was installed by Mayumi Kuri. Almost 1,000 bottles are on display, all with pictures or small trinkets inside. In her interview she says that she wanted to gather memories of the local people in Ogijima so she set up a collection box, asking people to put their memories in it. The bottles were lit up with lights and had everything from pictures to train tickets.

The gallery is still open even though the next Setouchi Triennale is not until 2016. If you want to see the art during the islands off season, now is the time to go :)

* 40min ferry ride from Takamatsu Port. It is about a 1.5hr flight from Tokyo to Takamatsu.

Family Quadruple Room | 1 bedroom, bed sheets

"Perfekt beliggende ved stranden med en fantastisk udsigt. God plads og fine strøm- og varme/kuldeforhold i teltene. Madrasserne var meget bløde, men dyner og puder lækre. Fine badeforhold for kvinder, dog knap så rummelige for mænd. Meget lækkert kød, grønsager og bbc-sauce til grillen om aftenen. Fælles bål om aftenen. Lækker strand at bade ved."

"Great location, at walkable distance from the station."

Okayama Koraku Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is great, property is a little far to walk, but short to taxi. But easy to find. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet is well stocked with a variety of foods. Room is large enough to easily accommodate three people. The streetcar and bus stops are right at the corner, and a few convenience store options nearby. "
