What to focus on
Keep ferry days light, then add one mainland craft stop before or after the island visit.
Suggested route
- Naoshima or Teshima museum day
- Okayama or Kagawa craft stop
- Tokushima indigo if crossing south
Use the chugoku craft directory with the craft type listings to compare nearby traditions before finalizing the route.
See the art context too
Connect craft regions and techniques with contemporary art, museums, and galleries.
