The Seto Inland Sea. This picturesque region where countless islands inhabit the sparkling waters, has been blessed with a mild climate and abundant nature since ancient times. It has long nurtured the lives of its people and fostered a rich cultural heritage.

In recent years, the Seto Inland Sea has also emerged as a haven for contemporary art. Islands including Naoshima and Teshima have become renowned for their world-class museums and captivating art installations, drawing art enthusiasts from around the globe.

But the allure of the Seto Inland Sea extends far beyond contemporary art.

This region is also home to a distinctive tapestry of cultural traditions and historical treasures, woven over centuries.

At Honshu-Shikoku Bridge Expressway Company Limited, we are dedicated to revitalizing the Seto Inland Sea region. Through the Setouchi Museum Network, we are committed to showcasing the diverse charms of this region to a global audience.

The Setouchi Museum Network is an organization comprised of museums and art institutions throughout the Seto Inland Sea region, working together to promote art and culture. Each museum boasts its own idiosyncratic character, and through collaboration, they create a vibrant and diverse cultural landscape.

In this project, we have carefully selected several museums from the Setouchi Art Museum Network, each offering unforgettable experiences. Through their stories, we invite you to discover the hidden gems of the Seto Inland Sea, where history, culture, and art intertwine to create a truly captivating journey.
