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.

"Location was nice. Room was quite cramped and the stairs to the second floor were odd and difficult to climb. Staff was very friendly and all the facilities worked well."

Shared Dormitory, Mixed Dorm, Non Smoking (8 Beds) | Lanai

"The place was nice and clean, reception spoke english so we had no problem understanding everything. The bed was comfy, and the room had air conditioning. Although not right next to a JR station, it's still not far. Almost everything is near : commercial street, garden, port.... "

"Small capsule style rooms, but very clean and cosy. Bring earplugs. Nothing much in terms of service, no laundry facilities etc but what do you expect for the price."

"Great place to stay when exploring the Island. Johnny was very helpful."

"Location, facility, staff - everything is on point!! For the female domitory, you will share a shower and a sink with 3 ppl, so it will rarely get crowded. The personal 'work space' under the bunk bed is awesome! and the common space is super clean and well furnished with kitchen items and a big fridge (fyi, table is only for 4ppl). Convenient stores and eating spots all within 5~10min walk and about 10~15min walk from Takamatsu st. "
