Besides Naoshima, Teshima, or Inujima island art sites', there are other significant artist/architect museums within a reach of one day trip from Uno Slope House. Note: some of these museums requires reservations for viewing well in advance. Make sure you contact them and plan ahead!
★ Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum (they don't allow us to link their site directly so here you can find it in google.)
(destination B in the google map below)
His famous Energy Void and over 150 stone art works (incl. unfinished), his studio, old Japanese house he lived in, garden etc. You must make a reservation by email.
★ George Nakashima Memorial Gallery (Sakura Seisaku-sho)
Founded in 2008. No English website yet, but here's the Japanese site you can see pictures. Not far from Isamu Noguchi Museum which makes it perfect for a one-day cycling trip to visit both. Open for non-reserved viewing on weekdays. (destination C in the google map below)
Below you can find the direction from Uno Port (A in the google map below). Don't worry about the time indicated.
If you take a bike, the approximate time in reality are;
Uno - Takamatsu ferry = about 1 hour (once in half an hour, 24 hours!)
To Isamu Noguchi Museum = 20 min - 30 min
From I.Noguchi Museum to G. Nakashima Gallery = 10 min
You could use JR and local trains to get there. It would take much more time however...
