Outside the Takamatsu Port ferry terminal entrance

Why it is on this site

The guide meets you with the bikes just outside the Takamatsu Port ferry terminal, on the same waterfront as the ship.
Folding bikes combine with island buses, and the operator says the guide supports riders who are not confident cyclists.
It covers Naoshima, the site's number 3 Takamatsu pick, with a 4.7 rating across 7 reviews.

Best for

Reasonably fit couples on a 10-hour call who would enjoy seeing the art island by bicycle.

Think twice if

Guide and bike are included, but the operator lists extras (at out-of-date prices): the ferry, now ¥1,360 return; Chichu, now ¥2,500–3,000; the Art House Project, now ¥1,200–1,400; ¥500 insurance; plus lunch. Most Naoshima museums close on Mondays and Chichu needs a timed ticket, so check your call date. Bookings are for two people or more, it asks for moderate fitness, and 7 reviews is a thin record.

Naoshima

A copper-smelting island turned over to contemporary art from the 1990s: Tadao Ando concrete sunk into the hillside so nothing breaks the skyline, a Kusama pumpkin on the jetty, and old houses converted one at a time in Honmura.

How long a port call do I need for this tour?

About 10 hours. The tour runs 8 hr; add half an hour to get off the ship and keep the hour before all-aboard free. Meeting at the ferry terminal next to the berth means no transfer, but eight hours needs a 10-hour call.
