The West and South Side of Teshima
Section A: Teshima’s Ieura Port and welcome center. Home to Teshima’s main luggage storage, bicycle rental, gift shop, and ticket office. A few restaurants and cafes can be found here, plus a post office and convenience store. Art exhibits include the Fish Store, Teshima Yokoo House (my favorite), and the Needle Factory.
Section B: ~35 minute walk from Section A. You can walk by the ocean here for a true, rural Japanese island feel. Home to art installations Toi Kikoku, Teshima 8 Million Lab, and sometimes other seaside events. These installations open earlier than the ones near the port, so it’s a good time-saver to visit this section first.
