4 places in Asia to see a James Turrell - SilverKris

"Part of Naoshima’s Art House Project but installed inside a custom-built Tadao Ando building called Minamidera, Backside of the Moon (1999) is a reservation-only, guided experience that leads visitors into total darkness where a barely perceptible light field slowly emerges to test the limits of human sight; no cameras are allowed." - James P. Ong

the art presented is very low level and poor. the island is beautiful, best was to explore is by renting a bicycle

Wonderful experience - when you eventually get in! We bought a multi site ticket only to be told this had a separate ticket. You can’t simply buy a ticket on site - you have to stand there, scan a QR code, register, set up payment and then buy a ticket that can’t be saved to a wallet. Instead you have to bookmark the website with the tickets - which is difficult to find once you go off it.

The best art house currently on show in my opinion - immersive, unexpected, dream-like similar to immersive theatre. Worth following the staff instructions closely to get the full, unspoilt experience

Absolutely must see if you go to Naoshima. James Turrell is a genius with light and the effect that he created in the Tadao Ando-built hall is stunning. It’s highly encouraged to make a reservation though it is possible to walk up and pay on site.

An eerie, fascinating, one of its kind experience. James Turrell has done something incredible here. It takes just ~20 mins to check it out, so don't miss it. But, make sure to reserve a timeslot in advance if you can. Otherwise you may miss out.

One of the highlights of the art House projects. Don't miss it. It's not includes in the five art House ticket, but luckily we got a ticket at the end of the day! I don't want to say much, it's the mystery that makes it special.

Interesting experience, but you're not missing out much even if you can't get tickets.

Minamidera is very poetic project and absolutely worth a visit. Turrell is always surprising and for me, this experience exceeds his other installation on the island by far.
