Chichu Art Museum: Transition to reservation system
(online tickets)
Due to the increase in visitors to Chichu Art Museum in recent years, in order to alleviate congestion on the island and museum entry waiting times, as well as ensuring an optimal viewing environment at the museum, we will implement a reservation system starting on August 1st 2018, and online tickets will be sold year round at intervals of 15 minutes going forward.
From August 1st, those visiting without a reservation may enter if there is an opening at their preferred time slot. If there is no opening available, long waiting times may occur until admission becomes possible. In addition, if the online tickets for that day are sold out, it will not be possible to enter the museum, so we recommend purchasing a reservation beforehand. Kindly note that reservations can only be completed online. The reservation site is scheduled to launch on July 5th. We will make a separate announcement when this happens.
■Reservation system commencement date
The reservation system will be implemented starting on Wednesday August 1st. Reservation sales for dates from August 1st until the last day of September will start at 10:00 a.m. (Japan Standard Time) on Thursday, July 5th. Thereafter, sales for two months ahead will start at 10:00 on the 5th of each month (sales for October will start on August 5th, sales for November will start on September 5th, etc.).
