Kojima is the birthplace of Japanese jeans. Kojima Jeans Street is located in the Ajino Shopping Arcade, and is an area in which unique jeans shops are lined up; the street extends for 400 meters between the Old Nozaki Residence and Nozaki Memorial Monument. The community is working together to PR Kojima as the birthplace of Japanese jeans and to revitalize the shopping arcade. As Kojima Jeans Street is filled with attractions such as direct manufacturers shops, novelty shops, eateries, and more, we hope you'll visit at least once.

There is art placed throughout the island, and the island is of a size that can be toured in a day. If you look up Naoshima, the first image that pops up is of the yellow pumpkin sculpture. It is larger than an adult human and quite heavy. It's recommended to take a photo of the pumpkin with the beautiful sea and islands in the background.
