About This Experience

Leave the quiet streets of historic Kyoto behind and journey to Naoshima by private helicopter. The flight takes just 70–80 minutes, turning the journey to one of the world’s most renowned art islands into an experience as exceptional as the stay itself.

Shortly after takeoff, Kyoto’s mountain landscapes recede, giving way to the endless panorama of the Seto Inland Sea. Below, a mosaic of dozens of islands unfolds, and the flight feels like a journey over a living work of art. Here, the road becomes more than just a means of reaching your destination—it is your first impression of Naoshima.

Upon arrival, you are greeted by renowned museums, architectural masterpieces by world-class artists, contemporary art installations, and the tranquility of island nature. Spend the day at your own pace, free from ferry schedules and transfers, fully immersed in an atmosphere of art and contemplation.

In addition to flights from Kyoto, private helicopter transfers from Naoshima back to Kyoto are also available.

Discover Naoshima in the most elegant way—beginning your acquaintance with the island from the skies above the Seto Inland Sea.
