Our eight years on Teshima have taught us a special kind of luxury: the joy of meticulously crafting food and enviroment. As children, we were engrossed in drawing, building, and singing. However, as adults, we tend to forget this pleasure of creation.

On this island, one can enjoy nature and art, yet many visitors seem to rush through their stay. As you journey to Teshima on the ferry, what thoughts bring your mind? When you touch the island’s nature, what memories resurface? And at the Teshima Art Museum, what stirs within you? Take these quiet moments to truly listen to the voice of your heart as you engage with nature and art.

If you wish, take time to experience our little village-like community that we’ve been nurturing slowly. Any place you desire is available to you, of course.

We sincerely hope that your time on Teshima adds new hues to your life, long after your journey ends.
