Teshima, floating in the Seto Inland Sea, is a beautiful island where rich nature, contemporary art, and food are in harmony. The "Teshima Art Museum," the biggest highlight, is a unique architectural structure shaped like a drop of water that blends with the surrounding terraced rice fields. Inside, it offers a world-class art experience where you can enjoy silence while feeling the movement of water. Moving around by rental cycle is recommended, and the exhilaration of riding on slopes while looking at the blue sea and beautiful terraced fields is exceptional. Having overcome a history of illegal waste dumping, it has now been reborn as an "island of food and art." It is a healing island highly popular among travelers who want to refresh their mind and body by touching local ingredients and the warm hospitality of the islanders.
