💡 Tips for Visitors

Purchase tickets for major museums like Chichu Art Museum and Benesse House Museum online in advance, as daily visitor numbers are limited. Many facilities and restaurants accept credit cards, but carry cash for small local shops and the town bus. Rent a bicycle at the port to explore the island efficiently, and plan to spend at least a full day to visit the main art sites without rushing.
