Sustainable Travel Teshima / From Illegal Toxic Waste Dump to Stunning Art Island Japan Destination
Once used as a toxic waste dumping site, Teshima island has become a popular travel destination thanks to the hard work of local people to fight injustice.
Thanks to the investment and artistic vision and nature-focused philosophy of the Benesse company, the island is rebounding and has become famous for its stunning art installations which help you see the beauty of nature in new, creative ways.
The reuse of old buildings and the connections artists and architects are making with Japanese culture, nature, and even outer space with their artwork will open your eyes to new possibilities.
