We were there a little bit early, but its okay, we got tickets and just waited for a mere 5 minutes before being led from the reception house and into the museum.

Nice reception house

 Before the museum, we will walk through a garden, Monet's garden, a garden replicated with Monet's paintings. [Sheila]

Hi joey! *Snap* [Vina]

Some beautiful flowers and interesting distractions. [Vina, Eugene, Amanda]

The Entrance [Vina]

Into the tunnel and out.

Raimy is unhappy with the man peeking into the bushes. oooh he ain't no happy at all man.

And that was the last of them, stuck in a structure that houses great artworks.

We came out of it dazed and amazed.

Works, by Walter De Maria, Monet, and James Turrel blows my mind. Fantastic experience
but, sadly pictures cant be taken within the building. Not even the architecture.

Amanda misses the museum. iqee getting high on art. [Vina]

Hi Barbie! Hey ken! Wanna go for a ride? I'm already in it.

Well, the group got onto the bus and went to Benesse art house project for a vsisit. Some went into take a look, some, took a rest at the lounge and some went out to explore nearby.

This should be one of the works taken by Sheila. 

Eugene and vina went around and found a Japanese style ice cream parlour, and gave it a shot.

It has a shop, a bench, and a straw tray with fans to fan the summer heat and eat ice cream.
Really nice and thick creamy ice cream.

Looking for fishes at the jetty.

Some fantastic tube ice cream that they found in a local grocery store.
A very beautiful and rustic store.

A panorama of the jetty. [Eugene]

They assembled back at the art house project reception and went back to the hotel to grab baggages.
Then prepared for a tight schedule to catch every transport on time. First to the port, then train back to tokyo.

On the ferry, we decided to leave our baggages at the vehicle floor, these awesome ladies and gentlemen helped us watch over our baggages as we enjoyed the air con upstairs. A shout out to you guys "Thank you so much!"

Cute train paintwork [Vina]

Waiting for the correct ride.

Food, on the train, definitely. Awesome bentoes.

We arrived in our destination by train by nightfall, we navigated around in tokyo and found the direction of the hotel, and WHAM, steep slopes up to the hotel. We felt a fraction of what the ancient Egyptian slaves felt when they were building the pyramids. Good job.

well slaves did not have hotels.

Worn out from the lack of sleep due to the summer time shifts that we aren't accustomed to, we all crashed.
Like how this post is going to end. ZzzzzzzzZZZZZzzzzzZZzzzz.........
