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.

Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Hotel Reoma no Mori

"バイキングのスタッフの配膳台が背中に当たっており、振り向いたが無言。新しい食事を置きたいようだったので、スタッフに場所を譲り少し離れるも、空のお皿をワゴンに載せ、ワゴンの奥にあったお皿が床に落ち大きな音がするも無言で拾い、無表情に新しい料理を置いていた。このスタッフは、大丈夫なのか名札と顔を見るも反応なくこちらが戸惑ってしまいました。また、パーク閉園後のお風呂は洗いたい人で、20人程の列が出来ており時間をずらす方が良いと思いました。"

Top Ogijima Island Hotel Reviews

JR WEST GROUP VIA INN OKAYAMA

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent cleanness and variety dishes for breakfast. I appreciated their thoughtfulness. "

Hotel Granvia Okayama

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely convenient location. Indoor passage all the way from JR Okayama Station to the hotel. Very clean, very kind staff. One can do most of the shopping without going out since it is connected underground to several shopping centers. No need for an umbrella, even if it rains. A bit expensive compared to other hotels."
