How long does a visit to Inujima take?

4-6 hours including ferry travel from Okayama. The Seirensho Art Museum takes about 45 minutes, the Art House Project walk takes about 1 hour, and the rest is ferry travel, shoreline walking, and lunch. The island itself is small enough to explore fully in 2-3 hours.

How do I get to Inujima from Okayama?

JR Akō Line from Okayama Station to Saidaiji Station (30 minutes), then bus to Hoden Port (Nishi-Hoden stop), then ferry to Inujima (10 minutes, ¥310). Total approximately 1 hour each way. Ferries run every 1-2 hours — check schedules in advance.

Can I combine Inujima with Naoshima in one day?

Possible but tight. A ferry connects Naoshima (Miyanoura Port) to Inujima in about 25 minutes (¥520). Departures are limited to 2-3 per day, leaving no flexibility if you miss one. A dedicated day for Inujima is more relaxed. If combining, start early from Naoshima.

How much does the combined ticket cost?

¥2,200 (~$15) for adults and ¥1,100 (~$7) for children. This covers both the Seirensho Art Museum and all five Art House Project installations. Buy at the ticket center near the ferry pier. Hours are 10:00-17:00 (last entry 16:30). Closed Mondays and late December through early January.
