The I Love Yu bathhouse is located right next to the ferry terminal at Miyanoura Port.





I Love Yu
I Love Yu is a fascinating mix of contemporary art and a traditional Japanese bathhouse, offering visitors the chance to soak in an artistic masterpiece. Designed by renowned artist Otake Shinro, the facility is a creative collage of recycled objects from across Japan. The bathhouse, part of Naoshima’s celebrated art scene, features striking white tiles adorned with an eye-catching erotic collage, vibrant murals of female pearl divers, and a colorful stained-glass ceiling. At the heart of the bath, a playful elephant statue adds to the whimsical atmosphere, making it a one-of-a-kind bathing experience.
Beyond the bath itself, art is infused into every corner of the facility, from the changing rooms and toilets to the exterior walls. Video displays, ceramic paintings, and intricate collages further enhance the creative experience. Visitors can also purchase exclusive I Love Yu-themed goods, including towels and toiletries, from the vending machine at the entrance. Whether you are an art lover or just seeking a relaxing soak, I Love Yu offers an unforgettable fusion of culture, creativity, and comfort.
