Fully experience the beautiful Setouchi Region with a Setouchi Triennale 2019 Pass!

There are a lot of people during the art season, so buying in advance can save you time in queues. You can exchange your tickets at the designated location at Takamatsu Station, which is simple and convenient.

The Setouchi Art Festival is really great. You can go there in spring, summer and autumn with a combined ticket, and some islands are open only for a limited time. It’s really good!

Setouchi Triennale is an international contemporary art festival held on a small island in the Setouchi Sea. You have to travel between so many ports and islands in a short time. There are 2 tickets during the art festival. Passes are a must-have. One of them is a three-day ferry pass "Common Pass" (common pass). The common pass can be used for unlimited rides on Takamatsu Port and Uno Port, connecting Naoshima, Toshima, Shodoshima, There are 8 routes on 5 islands including Ogijima and Megijima. When arranging your itinerary, you should rank these 5 islands as the most cost-effective within 3 days~

Review for: 3-Day Ferry Ticket (Special Advance Purchase)

Got some savings buying this voucher. It was a great experience island hopping and exploring the art pieces on each of the islands. Hopefully can go back again after COVID.

The Setouchi Pass is very convenient for getting into the art exhibits, but transportation is not convenient

Easy to place an order, easy to get tickets, and easier to board. The Seto Inner Art Festival exhibits a very wide range. The three-day ferry ticket crosses the main things between the islands to solve the traffic problem. The route is determined by itself. The speed of movement depends on the mood of each viewing moment, making each journey look perfect! This year is over and I am looking forward to the next three years ...

Order online and scan it with a QR code. The seemingly triennial pilgrimage is actually a very special experience that allows art to take root in life through the concept of travel. In the process of participating in this art festival, I can feel the beauty of another level in life, and the trip can be so different. I look forward to the next three years.

It’s easy to get tickets, and the combined ticket is super discounted and can be used unimpeded for three seasons. However, you need to check the time of the inter-island hopping boat first and be careful not to miss it. Some small islands may only have a few boats a day. If you miss it, you will have to wait a lot longer or take a long detour. Big circle

The Seto Inland Sea Art Festival is really worth a visit. The scenery on the island is beautiful and it feels very comfortable to walk. At dusk, you can see a very beautiful orange rendering of the whole sky. I recommend everyone to go abroad after the ban is lifted.
