From 5 Nights / 6 Days (Kanazawa & Naoshima Area)

Overview
This thoughtfully curated journey is designed for discerning art lovers, beginning in Kanazawa—where contemporary museums and living cultural traditions exist in harmony—and continuing to the art islands of the Seto Inland Sea. From the renowned 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art and Kanazawa’s rich legacy of traditional craftsmanship, to the iconic museums and open-air installations of Naoshima and neighboring islands, you will discover places where Japan’s natural beauty and artistic expression seamlessly converge, all at an unhurried, private pace.

Every TOKYO LUXEY journey is fully tailored to individual client preferences. The itinerary may be seamlessly combined with stays in Tokyo or the Kansai region (Osaka, Kyoto, and beyond), either before or after this experience. Arrival and departure points are arranged with complete flexibility to align with guests’ travel schedules. We take the time to understand each client’s interests in depth, crafting a journey that reflects their personal vision.
