2025 Shozu District Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

#2月好去地方2025 Recently, the "Seto Inland Sea Art Festival", which is held every three years, is about to start, making Shodoshima popular again, and Shikoku island hopping is on the rise! Even if there is no art festival, a one-day slow tour of Shodoshima is highly recommended. Staying on the island for a night will allow you to experience the leisurely pace of life. #Shodoshima Olive Park The classic scene from Hayao Miyazaki's movie "Kiki's Delivery Service", the white windmill and the witch's broom, most tourists come here to check in and take photos. In fact, Shodoshima was the first place in Japan to plant olive trees. The Olive Park mainly displays the history of olive trees and their planting, and is free to visit. Against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, it looks very European coastal. #寒霞渓 Known as one of the three most beautiful valleys in Japan, you can take a double-section cable car to the observation deck to see the beautiful scenery of Shodoshima's mountains and seas, including the Seto Inland Sea, Mikasa Mountain, Shibodō, the Eight Views in the Sato and the Twelve Views in the Omote. In fact, Hanxia Creek is also a good hiking trail, especially in autumn when the red leaves are in season, it is even more beautiful when you hike to the top. #２４の瞳影画村 The movie "２４の眼" was filmed on Shodoshima in the early Showa era. The scenes built during the filming include residential buildings, wooden school buildings, and village alleys in the streets. It faithfully reproduces the scenes of the early Showa era, just like walking into a time tunnel. The movie depicts the touching stories between teachers and students on the Shodoshima campus. Whether you have seen the movie or not, it is highly recommended to visit. Tickets are ¥790. #Shodoshima Angel Road A famous natural attraction on Shodoshima Island. At low tide during sunrise and sunset, a 500-meter-long thin white sandbar trail slowly emerges, spanning to Bentenjima on the other side. Walking along Angel Road at dusk is quite romantic and a very famous check-in spot. Shodoshima is a great place for a slow and relaxing life. It is recommended that you do not rush to visit and leave. It is best to stay on the island for one night to enjoy the quiet and charming moments of Shodoshima. #ShikokuTravel #Shodoshima #Seto Inland Sea

#2月好去地方2025 Head to the Seto Inland Sea in Shikoku and stay at Olivean Resort Hotel in Shodoshima. This seaside resort located in "Sunset Hill" is even more charming under the sunset, and the island resort atmosphere is full! Stay in a 48-square-meter Japanese-Western-style room with a double bed and a small Japanese-style tatami living room. From the window you can enjoy the sea view that has been selected as one of the top 100 sunsets in Japan. A night for two people excluding meals is about NT$6,500; including breakfast and dinner, it is about NT$9,000. As far as hot spring resorts are concerned, this price is not expensive, and if you come to a hot spring hotel and don’t try the sumptuous buffet, how can you say it’s past your visit? The sea view hot spring is also a highlight. The men's and women's hot springs are replaced every morning and evening. The water quality is a beauty hot spring with a pH of 9.0, which can beautify your skin while you bathe. Although Olvia Shodoshima Sunset Hill Hotel is an old resort, it is well maintained and has a great view of the sunset, making it a great place to relax and unwind in Shodoshima. #ShikokuTravel #Shodoshima #SunsetHill

It's like traveling back in time. Surrounded by a Showa-era atmosphere, Japanese films and photographs are also on display. Flower fields spread throughout the movie village. Spring rape blossoms, summer sunflowers, and autumn cosmos—15,000 sunflowers—were in full bloom. Their large yellow flowers shone in the strong summer sun and swayed in the sea breeze, creating a truly impressive sight. In the middle of the sunflower field, the "Let's Play Teacher" statue of Twenty-Four Eyes is happily playing rock-paper-scissors with Mr. Oishi. #SummerCampaign #Shodoshima #Kagawa #ThemePark #Twenty-FourEyesMovieMuseum #Sunflowers

[Kobe direction] Ferry, docked at Sakate Port, sailing time 70 minutes, ticket price ¥700. The second option is to take a fast boat, which stops at Tonosho Port and takes 45 minutes to sail. The ticket price is ¥1,400 (only passengers can be transported). The third option is to take the Shodoshima ferry, which stops at Tonosho Port. The sailing time is 60 minutes and the ticket price is ¥700. Considering that I was going with a bicycle and the Japanese inn I was staying at was near Tonosho Port, I chose the third option. After setting sail from Takamatsu Port, I passed Megijima, Ogijima, Oshima and Teshima along the waterway. These are all inhabited islands. I arrived at Shodoshima around noon. After storing my luggage at the hotel, I started my bicycle trip. I first went to the largest shopping mall on the island for lunch, then circled the area below the Tobu Strait and visited various attractions. What surprised me most was that the stone walls of Osaka Castle were produced in Shodoshima, and there were still traces of stone cutting fields in many places on the island. The other one was It is a heavy rock hiking trail. At the end of this trail is a huge boulder standing there. Of course, as the Japanese believe in the gods of heaven and earth, there must be a shrine! In fact, it is a bit like the wind-moving rocks commonly seen in various places in Taiwan. However, the scenery here is first-class. From time to time, you can see the transport boats passing by between Takamatsu and Shodoshima. Finally, I rode a circle and returned to Tonosho Port. There were several works of the "Setouchi 2022 International Art Festival" exhibited near the port. I took a few photos to enhance my artistic atmosphere. It was almost time to check in. After going back to take a bath, I came to enjoy the Japanese cuisine of the hotel! Note: The Setouchi Triennale is held every three years. If you are smart, you should have thought that it will be held in 2025 next year. At one of the venues, Naoshima, you can see representative contemporary art works such as the "Red Pumpkin" installation art created by the internationally renowned artist "Yayoi Kusama". However, even if you are unable to visit during the event, you can still enjoy other permanent art exhibits at art museums in Shodoshima and Takamatsu Port outside of the exhibition period. Touring the islands while feeling the sea breeze and immersing yourself in art will surely be an unforgettable trip unlike any other.
