2025 Tonosho Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

DAY 58: Shodoshima has a warm climate all year round and is known as the "Mediterranean Sea of ​​Japan". Olive groves, traditional soy sauce brewed in cypress barrels, and sun-dried noodles can be seen everywhere on the island. These traditional agricultural practices with a history of more than 400 years are still continuing today, and therefore the souvenirs on the island are products derived from these materials. Natural attractions include the "Angel Promenade" that appears at low tide, the legend that couples who hold hands and walk along the white sand path connecting four small islands will live a happy life, and the Toyon Strait, the narrowest strait certified by the Guinness World Records (the narrowest part is 9.93 meters). Shodoshima is also one of the venues for the Setouchi Triennale. Some of the works have become permanent installation art on the island, and some of them are hidden in inconspicuous places, so it takes some time to find them. In the past, many movies have been filmed on Shodoshima, the most famous of which is the movie "Twenty-Four Eyes" starring Hideko Takamine in the Showa era. The village and school built for the filming of the movie have been preserved to this day and have become a movie village. The only cinema in the village also screens the same classic work every day. In May this year (2024), the movie "Karakari Utsu no Takagi-san" (Teasing Master Takagi-san), starring Mei Nagano and Fumiya Takahashi, was also filmed in Shodoshima. It is a romantic love film spanning ten years. Although you haven't had the opportunity to visit Shodoshima yet, you can also experience this beautiful island known as the Japanese Mediterranean by watching the movie. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

Teshima is located in Kagawa Prefecture, Shikoku. It is a small and beautiful island. It is famous for its modern art and natural scenery. It takes about an hour to get there by ferry from Takamatsu Port. The island is not big, but it gives people a sense of seclusion and tranquility. We rented an electric bicycle as soon as we got off the boat. We first visited the Toshima Yokoo Museum, where the works of Yokoo Tadanori are displayed. The colorful and imaginative artworks in the museum left a deep impression. Teshima Art Museum was designed by Ryue Nishizawa and artist Rei Naito. Its architectural appearance is like a drop of water quietly sitting on the hill. It is highly recommended to go in. You need to make an appointment online in advance. The scenery on the island is very beautiful. It is recommended to ride an electric bicycle around the island. #GlobalTravel

#KagawaTourism #Shodoshima #AngelRoad #Sunrise #Solo #SoloTrip #TwiceADay #777 There is a road with a cute name on Shodoshima Island in Kagawa Prefecture. “Angel Road” Twice a day, at low tide, a road appears that connects the islands. When I went there, the sunrise happened to be at low tide, so I was able to see a beautiful sun. It felt like I had received some kind of power from early in the morning, and I felt like I could spend the day comfortably. I would like to find a good time to go here again.

Teshima (pronounced "Teshima") is a small island in the Seto Inland Sea. As its name suggests, this small island is rich enough to be self-sufficient on the island, with pure spring water, crops, rice, and fish. Teshima was hit by pollution caused by illegal dumping of industrial waste that continued from around 1978. Pollution on an unprecedented scale, fish could no longer be caught, children suffered from asthma, and negative rumors continued for several years. The island's residents have been fighting for many years to restore the island's former abundance, and as part of the Setouchi Triennale, art has been brought to the island, making it known as an island of contemporary art. 🖼 We can't change the past, but knowing that this island exists now after overcoming immeasurable anger and sadness, my love for Teshima far exceeded my expectations before I went. 😌🤍 It's about 35 minutes by regular ferry from Takamatsu Port. ⛴ Because it's a small island, you can rent bicycles (electric bicycles). /4 hours 1,000 yen) is recommended 🚲 The landmark is the Teshima Art Museum 🫧 I wonder if it is appropriate to categorize it as a "museum", but there is only one piece of art, and the overwhelming immersion will overturn your previous concept 🫢 Photography is not allowed inside the museum, so please come and experience it with your own eyes 😁 Please note that reservations are required via online tickets ✍️ Blue skies, blue seas, tranquil nature, the whole island is art and Teshima is beautiful no matter where you look 🌿 #Domestic travel #Teshima #Teshima Art Museum #Kagawa Prefecture

I was tired from cycling around Teshima, so I took a break. I had a cafe at the Seaside Restaurant. This restaurant is located along the coast and has a great view. The pizza is apparently delicious, so they brought it to me fresh from the handmade oven. Yokoo Tadanori also has art works on display in Teshima. I had some time before the return boat from Ieura Port, so I went in. In the previous Yokoo World, he incorporated primary colors into the old houses as much as he could. The Japanese garden was quite catchy and nice. #DomesticTravel

The most famous tourist spot in Teshima. Teshima Art Museum requires a reservation with a specified time, so please be careful when visiting. Photography is prohibited inside the museum, so I only have photos of the surrounding area, but the entire space is dominated by the masterpieces of modern artists who make use of architecture and water. I was confused at first, but I gradually became at ease and was moved. After that, I saw the famous road that leads to the sea, and ate at a restaurant. The dry curry was delicious! #DomesticTravel #ArtMuseumVisit

I took a ferry to Teshima in Kagawa Prefecture. It took about 40 minutes from Takamatsu Port to reach Ieura Port. It can also be accessed from the opposite shore, Okayama Prefecture. A local told me about it in the morning, so I rented a bicycle and went to Teshima Espoir Park for a morning cafe. It just opened last year. They were serving hot chai until 9am that day, so I bought some right away. It was a bit chilly, so it warmed me up nicely. #DomesticTravel #Gourmet #CoupleTrip

Kagawa Shodoshima International Hotel is located just over the Angel Road. If you plan to go to Shodoshima, it is definitely recommended to stay on the island for a night, soak in the hot springs and look at the sea. You don’t have to catch the boat or the car, and spend a leisurely and comfortable time. 👍🏻 The hotel is surrounded by the sea on three sides, every room has a sea view, and the open-air hot spring naturally faces the sea. You can watch the sunset at night and the sunrise in the morning. The scenery is unbeatable! 🌅It feels great to soak in the hot springs in the gentle sound of the waves and feel the sea breeze at night. 🌌The room is ordinary, but large in size. The hotel dining was excellent! The breakfast is very rich, with Western-style pork and sausages, as well as Japanese-style sashimi, natto, hot spring eggs, freshly cooked soup, etc. Dinner included plump and tender beef and small abalone, as well as very smooth and chewy vegetarian noodles. 😋All the ingredients are very fresh, and they use locally produced dark soy sauce, olive oil, and homemade rich pudding, which tastes novel and flavorful. 📍Shodoshima International Hotel, 24-67 Tonosho-cho, Shozu-gun, Kagawa Prefecture #日本酒店 #国外旅游 #日本旅行 #travel #小豆岛 #travelinspiration

You can take a ferry to access to this one of the most beautiful islands around Kagawa. It is pretty small to explore but feels so good for just relaxing and spending time with great nature. About transportation, unfortunately there are not so many buses however, you can rent a car or even bikes that is enough for exploring all around the island.

Cottage "IROU" where you can have the ocean view all to yourself🌿 First of all, the view when you open the curtains in the morning is the best😭✨ The room is spacious and very reasonably priced!! The road is hard to find, so I recommend heading to the cottage while it's still light◎ #supporttourism #kagawa #shodoshima #remoteislandtrip #triptovisitremoteislands#supporttourism#greatviews

#GlobalTravel As one of the exhibition venues for the 2025 Setouchi Triennale, Teshima is expected to become a very popular tourist destination this year. If you don’t want to visit during the art festival, there are many regular art galleries and exhibits in Teshima. You can feel the charm of Teshima no matter when you go! In Toshima, you can often see works that go beyond the conventional framework, which are unexpected but easy to resonate with. For example, in the game "No One Wins Basketball Hoop", six basketball hoops of different heights are set up on an ordinary sports field. Because you can often see several tourists shooting hoops together, not caring about winning or losing, they just want to enjoy the time shooting hoops as they please, which makes people smile. 📍Address: Toyoshima

It takes about one hour to get to Naoshima from Takamatsu Port by boat. It is an island full of art "Chichu Art Museum" - Architect is Tadao Ando Clear water concrete ~ light and shadow ~ blank space It is a place worth quieting down. (No photography allowed inside) It is recommended to stay at least one night in Naoshima Two nights is actually more than enough The next day, I took a boat from Naoshima to Toyoshima In front of the Toyoshima Museum of Art, along the road to the coast The vast sea view makes people reluctant to leave This seemingly simple art gallery is where I meditate Sit, lie down, or walk Indescribable healing feeling (Same, no photography allowed inside) So, you must experience it yourself #SetoInlandSea #Naoshima #Toyoshima

#aprilblooms In the 13th year of Tenpyo (741), the temple was founded by the monk Gyogi at the request of Emperor Shomu. Since the emperor himself copied and paid the King Sutra of the Golden Light, it has also been called the "Golden Light Four Heavenly Kings Protectors" as a prayer place to pray for peace in the world, the abundance of grain, and the abundance of all people. Later, Kobo Daishi revived it as a temple of the Shingon sect, and became a sacred place in eighty-eight places in Shikoku. Even today, the sound of the pilgrimage's bell is constant. It is said that the author of the Tosa Diary, Noriyuki, stayed for 4 years as a national governor. In addition, the temple has been maintained to this day while receiving strong faith, such as the Chosokabe clan in the Sengoku period and the lord of the Yamauchi Domain in the Edo period.

This time, I will introduce Yokoo Museum in Teshima✨ It is a museum that opened in 2013 to coincide with the Setouchi Triennale, a collaboration between artist Tadanori Yokoo and architect Yuko Nagayama😎 The light and shadow that change through the red rock garden and colored glass give visitors a philosophical experience with the theme of "life and death"👫 Teshima Yokoo Museum 📍2359 Toshima Ieura, Tonosho-cho, Shozu-gun, Kagawa Prefecture ------------ Thank you for watching👫 This is Yuitasu☺️ A couple in their 20s who have traveled to 35 countries both in Japan and overseas.

#aprilblooms "Hosho-in Temple" is the 54th shrine of the 88 sacred places in Shodoshima. The 51st Fudasho "Hotobo" and the 52nd Fudasho "Former Hachimangu" are located in the same precincts and have long been worshipped by people. The highlight is the giant tree of Shinpak towering on the east side of the precincts. Shinpak is an evergreen coniferous tree of the genus Cypress that grows naturally on the coasts of Shikoku and Kyushu. Hoshoin's Shinpak boasts a masterpiece with a circumference of about 16.9 metres and a tree height of about 20.9 metres, and is said to be the largest in Japan. It is said that it was hand-planted by the 15th Emperor Ojin during the Kofun period, and the tree is over 1,600 years old. It was designated as a national special natural monument in 1955.

Angel Road is a sandbar connecting Nakamae Island, where Tonosho Port is located, to Benten Island. During high tide, the sandbar is submerged, but during low tide, it emerges from the water and becomes walkable, extending all the way to Oyo Island. When we checked in at the Sora Umiro Hotel on the hillside at around 5 PM on October 20, Angel Road was still underwater. While most visitors stood at one end observing, we waded across barefoot through the shallow water. The next morning at 06:40, Angel Road had emerged several centimeters above the water surface, making it easy to walk to Nakayo Island and Oyo Island. After walking back and forth on Angel Road, we climbed to the Yokusonotoka Observatory to get a bird's-eye view of Angel Road, which was absolutely beautiful. October 20/21, 2024 Angel Road

Of course, island hopping is a must when visiting Shikoku! This time, we will introduce a very special island called "Toyoshima". If you like cycling, I highly recommend this island. You can ride a bike while enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, which is simply a refreshing feeling. While cycling, you may also find some small stalls selling fruits, but these stalls are unattended. If you want to make a purchase, everyone will put down the money according to the signs. Toyoshima is an island in the Seto Inland Sea famous for its abundant crops and water resources. The abundant natural resources have irrigated the charming artistic landscape, earning it the reputation of the "Island of Art". There are also many works of art available for browsing/appreciation. The Teshima Art Museum is even more worth visiting, but photography is not allowed inside the venue. Everyone remember to pre-order on the official website in advance, it will be cheaper than buying on the spot. I hope you like my sharing, thank you!
