We arrived in the afternoon around 130 on the ferry from Inujima so we didn’t have a lot of time. We rented electric bicycles for ¥1000/4 hours and quickly biked to the Teshima Art Museum. The bike ride was mostly uphill and took about 20 min. It was a last minute decision to visit Teshima and we had reserved the tickets only the night before for 230. Usually it would be recommended to reserve them further ahead but with Covid, it was a lot easier. You have to take your shoes off before entering the museum.

Teshima Museum is one structure made of concrete with three openings-an entrance and two holes in the ceiling. Sitting in the structure you watch the world through the ceilings, and the drops coalesce on the floor, you close your eyes and listen to the birds and wind. Some people even fall asleep. The art is the experience of nature. A very unique experience.…
