A single white concrete shell on a hillside on Teshima, by the artist Rei Naito and the architect Ryue Nishizawa. March–September 10:00–17:00, October–February 10:00–16:00; closed Tuesdays from March to November. Advance reservation with a date and time is required: ¥1,800 online, and if online tickets sell out there are no door sales. Heritage Adventurer’s 27 April 2027 call is a Tuesday.
- Closed Tuesdays from March to November. Check the day before you plan around it.
- 6 hr door to door needs an 8-hour call: a 2–3 hour stop cannot hold it. Pick something closer instead.
