The Setouchi Triennale 2025 is a contemporary art festival held once every three years on the islands of the Seto Inland Sea.
Since its first event in 2010, it has welcomed around one million visitors from Japan and abroad, and is widely recognized as a leading international art festival in Japan.
The festival spans approximately 100 days, divided into three seasons—spring, summer, and autumn—allowing visitors to fully enjoy the unique charms of each season.
One of the major attractions is the opportunity to explore the history, culture, lifestyle, and industries of the islands through island hopping.
