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.

"Great hotel with spacious room. The room was spotless and everything inside was new and in great condition. The bathroom doesn't have racks to hang towels and that's the only downside. Otherwise, it was a great stay!!"

"The hotel is located in a great location. You walk out the door and you have all manner of restaurants and bars on your doorstep. The train is in easy walking distance. The staff are friendly and very helpful. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else if I stayed in Takamatsu again. Awesome! "

"Room was nice and clean. Amenities available from reception include tea, toothbrushes and razors. No coffee, though. Breakfast was good, but exactly the same options each day. There were some rolls and pats of butter but no knives to cut the rolls and apread the butter. Odd."
