Only 50 Minutes to Naoshima, the Contemporary Art Island of the Seto Inland Sea -New Helicopter Charter Flights Now Connect Kyoto/Osaka with Naoshima and Uno Port- Space Aviation Inc. (Headquarters: Fushimi-ku, Kyoto City; President & CEO: Akihiro Yasuda) will launch the “Naoshima Charter Flight” on April 28, 2025, offering helicopter transportation connecting Kyoto and Osaka with Naoshima and Uno Port. What typically takes over three hours by public transportation from Kyoto or Osaka to Naoshima (Miyanoura Port) can now be shortened to just 50 minutes one way. In addition to Naoshima, the new service also provides comfortable access to other islands in the Seto Inland Sea, such as Inujima and Teshima. Naoshima, a town dotted with contemporary art installations, welcomed exclusively 750,000 visitors in 2024. With the opening of the Setouchi Triennale-an international contemporary art festival-on April 18, 2025, the number of art-focused visitors from both Japan and abroad is expected to surge even further. Due to this growing demand, securing chauffeur-driven car services (a common mode of secondary transport following helicopter travel) has become extremely difficult on the island. In response, in addition to our direct flights from Kyoto and Osaka to Naoshima Heliport, Space Aviation will now offer charter flights connecting to the “Okayama Tamano-Yu Heliport,” located near Uno Port-one of the region’s major gateways to Setouchi. This new service ensures seamless travel to the Setouchi islands, which serve as venues for the Setouchi Triennale, while also providing a private and comfortable flying experience.
