Summary
Introducing the third day of a weekend trip to the islands of Kagawa.
Plan to leave Tokyo on Friday night after work or school and tour the island on Saturday and Sunday.
I had an image of islands as being very far away, but it is surprisingly easy to get there!
On the last day, we went to Teshima, which is called the island of art in Kagawa Prefecture.
The entire island was dotted with art and many photo spots!
It is just right for a refreshing weekend trip to enjoy both nature and art!
The plan is to return on a proper Sunday night.

12:50pm Umi no Restaurant(海のレストラン)
The last stop on Teshima was lunch here.
As the name suggests, the restaurant has a great location with the ocean right in front of it.
It looks even better when the weather is nice.
It was raining and a little cold that day, so we had it inside the restaurant, but if it was sunny, it would be pleasant to eat on the terrace!
I had a Margherita (1,760 yen) recommended by the waitress and a Teshima original fruit syrup lemon soda (700 yen).
The pizza was delicious, with a terrific sweetness from the fresh tomatoes!
You can get lost in the many pizza menus that use island vegetables and sea food!
