Things to see and do Okayama

A few kilometers from Okayama is Inujima. Today dedicated to art, this island was for decades dedicated to industry. Its foundry chimneys are still visible. With its galleries occupied by the Inujima Art House Project, as well as numerous art objects and other attractions, the island offers a unique artistic journey. The Seirensho Art Museum, housed in the ruins of an old foundry built a century ago, is the jewel in the crown. Every three years, the island hosts the triennial Setouchi Art Festival.
