The history of the island is full of approximations, but I'll give her a free pass with that.

Her description of Teshima is just the usual "office of tourism" narrative basically.

Yes, that was a shit article.

"a few hours at Chichu"
Yeah, right. Unless she took a nap, I'm not sure how she'd spend "a few hours" there. Also, she describes Turrell's art in way too many (some almost made up) details and doesn't even mention the other art. Odd. ⤵️

As you mentioned, the one hour ferry ride would mean that she took the ferry in Takamatsu, but her description of the station looks like Uno Port. ⤵️

"The Seto Inland Sea is (...) a section of the Pacific that is partially enclosed by about 2000 barrier islands." Has she even looked at a map? We can debate whether it's a section of the Pacific or not, it's enclosed by four islands: Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu and Awaji. ⤵️

"scouted south on the map. Two islands caught my eye"

So much bullshit. There's no way the two islands would catch your eye on a map.. ⤵️

"I would later learn that you do not eat while walking in Japan. (...) It just causes you to enjoy both activities less and is a choking hazard." Ah, the rationalization behind what you should or shouldn't do in Japan... No, you just don't do it because it's rude. And not unique to Japan. ⤵️

All right, commenting as I'm reading.
First "two remote islands." How are they remote exactly? That's just exoticism BS to make it sound like a bigger adventure than it really is (all travel bloggers to that and I hate it) ⤵️

Now you make me want to read it.
Be back in a few minutes. 🙃

I didn't even bother to read. I stopped at the title.
