Really nice view and went there close to sunset and it was pretty amazing the place was rather crowded though but would still highly recommend going there. As the view is pretty stunning!

✨ A magical and romantic place ✨ Visiting Angel Road was an unforgettable experience. The sandy path appears during low tide, connecting several small islands and creating a unique scenery. The atmosphere is peaceful, perfect for a romantic walk or enjoying the sunset. There’s also a viewpoint with a bell where couples ring it for good luck in love, which makes the place even more special. Make sure to check the tide schedule to walk the entire path. A must-see spot in Shodoshima, full of natural beauty and romance. 🌊💫

When we arrive the sun was already going down and the sunset view was amazing. The tide was already rising but there is still people trying to cross over. ( pls becarful if you do but I don’t recommend 🫣) There is a car park near by but not a lot of space tho.

We made a beeline straight for this place as soon as we got off the ferry, and were glad we took our car. The bus wait seemed a bit slow. We missed the tide around sunset, and it wasn’t too crowded when we went. I was able to fly my drone here and capture some beautiful footage of the rock formations around here. There was a couple that was getting wedded that day, and most people edged out of the way to let them take their wedding pictures. Most folks descend down the steps to here, and come straight to the beach area to take pictures of the “island”. But there also steps to the left that are a bit discreet; they lead up to a series of stairs that give you a nice panoramic view of the island and there is a lover’s bell up on the top as well.

Wonderful experience, check the low tide times before you go (your window is 2 hours before to 2 hours after for a total of 4 hours). Cool to see the flora and fauna that clearly were in the ocean water hours ago. Crossing the sand bar and back is picturesque and can be done in less than 30 minutes. Bonus trip up the stairs near the entrance leads you to a bell you can ring for love!

Took Olive bus no. 6 here. As it was low tide, we could walk on the road or rather the beach. We walked till the end where we saw past visitors had hang blessings notes on the branches of the tree. It was a nice stroll on the beach. After that we headed to Yumi Katsura Lover's Sanctuary where we could ring the bell and looked down on Angel road

Beautiful. But I recomend to stay there for 15 to 30 mins only

Quick to visit, although getting to the top requires climbing a few rocks. Great views all the way.

Amazing view. Just be aware that once you reach Kasaneiwafudo, there are no more steps from then onwards and it gets very steep, so be sure to wear proper footwear (I was wearing sandals 😅). But the view was well worth it!

Great view, even better if you come at sunset

It’s a tiny street to drive up, lots of stairs to walk up then climb up some rocks. Be ready. Locals told me if you get to the top, you can stay healthy for a year. I think you have to be healthy to get to the top! It’s nice view and feels good there

Very tough climb, yeah,,, this is climb. Take care of climbing. Very beautiful view in the top! Only 3-4 cars can get parked.

Not only the rocks but also such an amazing view spot. Needed to stay there to look around the view, and to think about the process to make these rocks stacked like the toy blocks! You need to spend climb up a bit for like 15min, but definitely recommend it!

Its nice to go if you want a short brief good hike the 80meters was challenging but the view was spectacular when you get to the top.

Really nice and interesting place with the shortest strait in the world in 1996. Quite a cool place to take pictures as well.

A simple site with some information of the Guinness World Record got. I hope more English information can be provided.

world’s narrowest strait! 9.93m~

It is under maintenance on 7th Jan.

quite and nice. you can get a certificate of crossing the ocean if you pay 100 yen. the place is totally free, and lovely for couples.

Thai is truly he narrowest strait in the world. Don't forget to get the certificate of crossing the strait at the tourism office nearby

Supposedly the world's smallest waterway,not a lot to see.

Surprisingly good, we don't normally like these things, animal welfare. But the monkey's are free to roam all around the mountains in this area. They like being fed at the parks so they come at key times. Observation deck was a great spot

We fed lots of monkeys there, they are so cute.

Perfect place to meet with our ancestor in funny way. You can feed them too :-)

For those with kids. It’s about a 5-10 mins walk to the kingdom. There’s also a cabin to feed the monkeys safely. The staff are very aware of the monkey’s behaviors and give advice to visitors accordingly to prevent incidents. For those with better endurance. Walk 20 mins to the top of the mountain for some mind bending views of the area.

it is a small zoo full of wild monkeys so need to be careful. Do not stare at them otherwise they might attack you. Don't run and don't play with monkeys. However, it is a good experience for everyone. Also, they didn't advertise it but they have the best view points in the whole island.

I recommend to go all the way up the hill to have great way around Shodoshima.

Fun place to hang out with the monkeys. There is a animal caretaker, which is very sweet and showed us around and how to feed the monkeys. Very unique experience.

If you like studio ghibli then it’s a must go. The windmill is the highlight of the place. So many people taking photo there. After parking you need to go to the museum, they have a wall where they hang the famous Kiki broom. But sometime you need to wait since many took it for photo. After taking the break you can then head to the windmill. The olive oil ice cream was good also specially after all the jumping 😆😆😆.

tbh it’s frustrating to walk uphill under scorching sun, from the bus stop. it’s a nice olive park tho, big square with art installations and the windmill that everyone is crazy about. big souvenir shop, resto and stuff, even a shrine!! also a tiny museum and noodles place along the road. i spent 3hrs there, but i think most people left faster than i did. once is enough for me; i won’t go again if no one drives me uphill.

An olive garden with a lot of photogenic spots. There are the oldest olive tree in Japan, a windmill, a lovely house and a statue of Athena. There is a large souvenir shop with various olive products from snack, food to cosmetics.

You can borrow the broom for free to pretend to be Kiki in Ghibli Kiki's Delivery Service~ Please also go to lookout~

Though I am not a big fan of theme park, this scenic olive-theme park was definitely worth a visit. Its herb garden, museum, and olive farm were both beautiful and educational. Potential visitors need to budget their time accordingly as the buses run infrequently (especially in the late afternoon)!

The Olive Garden consists of multiple Greek style structures, like the iconic windmill and the herb garden. It was fun to look for heart shaped olive leaves

Not only famous for the olive, but also with a fabulous scenery!

Inside of the dome is strictly restricted to take any photo. There are a few people patrolling inside. I found it bit crazy but perhaps to avoid any photo taking distractions, which is understandable. There are many small holes on the floor from which water is coming out. Please be careful of not being wet. Outside of the dome is very peaceful. We walked to the museum from Ieura ferry port. It was a nice 50min walk.

Amazing piece of art. Photos are not allowed inside for which I am very thankful. It was a calming but profoundly moving experience. It can be very crowded. Make sure to reserve your slot in advance.

Don't miss this! Although the admission price is higher than most museums in Japan, it's really a one of a kind experience. Strongly recommend purchasing tickets in advance as there is an assigned time slot, and the town shuttle stops here.

Moving and important work of art. Everyone should make a pilgrimage to this place. It's simplicity done absolutely perfectly. The reinforced concrete form frames the beautiful landscape. Water pools and moves across its hydrophobic floor. The sun (or rain) comes in through two large holes and guests warm themselves in sunspots like cats. Come here first or last in your day but give yourself time to sit and reflect in the space. Do not have a rushed or stressful mind. This place is a temple and prepare to meditate. I pent a long time there and as I was leaving I said goodbye to space and cried. I feel so lucky to have been there.

The masterpiece by SANAA. Cannot take a photo inside the museum. It's a bit hard to go by ship and shuttle bus, but worth it! I recommend pumpkin ice cream at the shop!

Outstanding Museum Where Architecture, Art, and Nature Breathe as One As photographers for Photolator, the Teshima Art Museum left us profoundly moved. Designed by Ryue Nishizawa and dedicated to the work of artist Rei Naito, the museum is unlike any other — a serene, organic space where art, architecture, and the surrounding landscape merge into a single living experience. The structure itself resembles a water droplet gently resting on the hilltop. Inside, there are no paintings or sculptures in the traditional sense — instead, the space is alive with light, shadow, wind, and the slow movement of water on the smooth concrete floor. Every moment inside feels unique, with natural elements constantly shifting and creating new visual compositions for the lens. Photography is restricted inside, but even without capturing images, the experience fuels creative vision. The surrounding views of the Seto Inland Sea and the peaceful approach to the museum offer plenty of photographic opportunities. For Photolator, the Teshima Art Museum is more than a destination — it’s a reminder that sometimes the most powerful inspiration comes from simply observing, feeling, and being present. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Another significant experience I had today: it is just some water and sunlight but when I walked in it looked like a silent ritual across everyone. I stared at the water for 5 minutes it was a silent meditation. I felt rebirths

Cafe at the olive park. Conveniently located.

Nice place to take a rest and observe the Seto inner sea. Drink choices are few.

Worst pizza I've ever had in my life. Cold and tasteless. Service was quick and surroundings were nice. This is the very definition of a tourist trap. Avoid.

It a good place you can enjoy your foods here But I think the rice could offered more is better The price was a little bit expensive

No much choice to eat here, taste is so so, i ordered the chicken rice, big enough to refill energy for the rest of the journey

Very salty and food was cold. We ordered 3 of the 4 dishes except the pizza . Soup was awfulawful , seasoned with olive oil and salt . Nice place for coffee or a drinkdrink because of the view

Quite tasty and the price is reasonable !

Lovely ambiance. Legit Italian Food😋

Any foods are so tasty. Personally it is better than most of Italian restaurants in Tokyo. Recommend to do booking a table.

Delicious! Check it out. Owner is a lovely man. As a European I felt the Italian food was very authentic. The restaurant itself is clean and stylish. We had the "Prosciutto pizza" and the "Bacon and Mushroom" pizza. We loved it.

If ever you’re in Shodoshima and you’re looking for a memorable place to eat, just do yourself a favour and stop here. Being in Japan for close to 10 years now, I’ve always been satisfied about the service, quality and freshness, but this restaurant takes it to another level. Not only the food is exceptional, but also the portions are absolutely more than enough. IT’S DEFINITELY A MUST!!

Tried three of the pizzas and all of them were very tasty. They also have a giant-sized Caesar salad that is great... it could feed two easily.

If you visit Shodoshima then you must come here for lunch. Beautiful small Italian restaurant. Clean, comfortable with great service. The food quality is excellent. The prices are very reasonable. Just go and enjoy this lovely restaurant. Tonosho, Shodoshima.

Really good Italian food, both the pastas and the pizzas are worth a try. Generous quantity and abordable price, I would definitely come back there and recommend it to anyone visiting Shodoshima!

Service was very bad. Over priced and food wasn’t very good. Avoid if you can.

(Translated by Google) I used it when I went on a trip to Shodoshima with my friend and family. Since it was a three-day holiday, only those who had made advance reservations were able to enter. It felt somewhat nostalgic, like an old-fashioned izakaya. The food was very delicious. Great food when served! It got me in the mood for traveling. Everything on the menu I ordered was delicious. Especially the soup is amazing! You can see that they take a lot of time and effort to make the soup stock. I want to make it at home, but I don't think it would be possible to reproduce it lol I regret that I should have bought Nozawana Nori as a souvenir. Thank you to the general and staff for the meal! ! (Original) 友人家族と小豆島旅行へ行った際に利用させて貰いました。 三連休だったので事前予約していた人のみ入店出来ました。 昔ながらの居酒屋という感じでどことなく懐かしく感じました。 料理はとても美味しかったです。 付き出しの時点で立派な料理！旅行気分を盛り上げてくれました。頼むメニュー全て美味しかったです。特にあら汁が素晴らしい！ 手間暇かけて出汁を取っていることが分かります。家で作りたいけどこれは再現不可能だろうあなぁ笑 お土産に野沢菜のりを買っておけば良かったなぁ、と後悔しています。 大将、スタッフの皆さん、ご馳走様でした！！

(Translated by Google) I made a reservation on a Friday night the day before a three-day holiday in the latter half of September 2024. I chose this restaurant because it was the closest to the hotel I was staying at. I had high expectations since the reviews weren't that bad, but I was left with a slightly disappointing impression. When I arrived at the store, the appetizer was already placed on my seat. Turban shell, grilled fish, and edamame. Aside from edamame, turban shells and grilled fish are naturally cold. The amount is too large for an appetizer. The restaurant seemed to be run by a single woman, who was busy carrying the food, making it difficult to time the order. Considering the number of seats, I think 2-3 people are needed. The friendliness wasn't bad though. The amount of somen was large. It was just enough for two people to eat. The best part was the Ochazuke. As you can see in the photo, the rice was roughly arranged and sprinkled with ochazuke seaweed. It was my first time to have ochazuke like this at an izakaya, and I was amazed. It's not that expensive, but I don't think I'll come back. Payment was in cash only. (Original) 2024年9月後半の三連休前日の金曜日夜予約して伺いました。宿泊したホテルからいちばん近かったのがお店選びの理由でした。 口コミはそれほど悪くなかったので期待していたのですが、少し残念な印象でした。 お店に着くと、すでに席にお通しが置かれていました。サザエ、焼き魚、枝豆です。枝豆はともかくサザエと焼き魚は当然冷たくなっています。お通しにしては量も多すぎます。 ホールは女性が1人で切り盛りされているようで、料理を運ぶのに忙しくてされていて注文するタイミングがとても難しかったです。席の数からすると2〜3人は必要だと思います。愛想は悪くなかったですが。 素麺は量が多かったです。2人で食べてちょうど良いくらいでした。 極めつけはお茶漬けでした。写真のように雑に盛り付けたごはんに、お茶漬けのりのふりかけがかかったようなものでした。居酒屋さんでこんなお茶漬けは初めてで、呆れてしまいました。 料金はそれほど高くはありませんが、再訪しようとは思わないですね。支払は現金だけでした。

(Translated by Google) I stayed at an international hotel across the street and had dinner there. It was delicious. (Original) お向いの某国際ホテルに宿泊して晩ご飯を頂きました。美味しかったです😊

(Translated by Google) Kappo restaurant near the sea It feels like a long-established restaurant with two elderly men doing the cooking and a woman in her prime. The store is spacious with a counter and a tatami room. The menu mainly consists of local fish dishes. There are various I also ordered an assortment of sashimi and the rare fried okoze. It has a lot of sashimi and is fresh. The okoze was also freshly fried and crispy and delicious. Moreover, they are all reasonably priced and of high quality. It seems like a lot of famous people come here, probably because there's a rather large hotel right in front of it. (Original) 海の近くの割烹屋 もう高齢の男性二人が調理で壮年の女性でやっていて老舗な感じ 店内はカウンターと座敷で広い メニューは地魚料理がメインで 色々ある やはり刺身の盛り合わせ と珍しいオコゼの唐揚げを注文した 結構刺身が入っていて新鮮 オコゼも揚げたてカリカリで旨かった しかも どれもリーズナブルでクオリティは高い 目の前に わりとデカイホテルがあるせいか有名人が結構来ているみたい。

(Translated by Google) I had dinner If you don't drive a car I wanted to take my time to enjoy drinks and food. The tempura bowl and tempura sauce were fresh (lol) (Original) 夕食を頂いた 車の運転が無ければ じっくりとお酒と食事を楽しみたかった 天丼に天つゆは新鮮でした（笑）

(Translated by Google) I visited while traveling. If you're coming for dinner, a reservation is required. It's more of an adult bar than a pub. It's not as formal as a kappo restaurant, so it's easy to enter. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 旅行で訪れました。 夜ご飯で御来店される方は予約必須です。 大衆酒場というより大人の酒場。 割烹ほど格式も高くなく、入りやすかったです。ご馳走様でした。

Absolutely fantastic! I took a lunch break on Teshima Island and went to Shima Kitchen. Enjoyed a delicious menu with plenty of local fish and vegetables. The service was great. The portions in the plates are very good. The atmosphere is very cozy. Shima Kitchen has established itself as a local platform, connecting people together through art and food. Highly recommend! I’ll definitely come again.

Delicious lunch place with fresh and local ingredients from the island! The restaurant is very charming too. It's super popular so make a reservation beforehand if you can. I wasn't able to book in advance but I arrived at 12pm and they put my name down for 1pm. You can explore the art exhibits in the area while waiting :)

Most important tip is that this place is very popular. If you want to eat here at 12, you must get here by 11:30 to wait in line. The food was delicious, but overpriced? I got charged twice the amount for my lunch set. The soda was ok. The pudding was very good. My meal was not worth 4500 yen. I would rather go to the restaurant next door.

Artistic food enjoyment: the kitchen is visible at the entrance, you either sit around the kitchen island or in a great hallway with large windows. You order at the entrance and pay in advance. They were helpful, attentive and friendly, even to children, which is unfortunately not the case everywhere on this island. Tip: Correctly adjusting Google Maps opening times would be helpful for tourists.

A bit overrated. The olive cider is 600 yen here, almost 4 times in Shōdo Island.

Nice place to rest and lunch on Teshima island. Food is just normal. Please make reservations.

Top-notch service! This place graciously accommodated my celiac disease. Whatever you do: get the pudding. It is the richest, creamiest crème brûlée like custard with a deeply caramelized sugar syrup waiting for you at the bottom. I wanted to eat 10 more of them!

You need to pay to visit the site but I think it’s worth it. Very beautiful and relaxing. Some of the time they have tours coming in, so it’s abit crowded. Many place to take photos so if you like taking photo you must go. Many parking outside the site so no need to worry.

My wife really enjoyed some of the books which were based of some of the movie which were filmed here. If you are a historical japanese movie buff black and white movie etc you may have seen one or two that was filmed here. You can go into every building and see photos and articles from all the old movie. If you don't like old movies maybe not worth the visit

Nice scenery but the building and expo are a littéralement bit messy. I would have expect more fous on cinéma world. Many housse just host shop selling unrelated art stuff. Maybe good for a quick stop (but ticket is 1000 yens per adult.

Beautiful and nostalgic place to visit. I bought also a lot of souvenirs. The shop keepers were sooo nice to me. 🩷👍🏻👍🏻

I only stayed outside as I only got 15 mins before the bus comes. I need to catch this bus as my luggage storage ends at 4:30pm. It looks pretty good from the outside, I manage to take a peak from the gaps of the gate, inside seem to have the houses you see in a samurai movie. Visited on 1 Apr 2025

This place exceeded my expectations… admittedly it was a gorgeous day to see the coast and buildings, but a fascinating spot to learn about early Japanese film making and culture. The coffee shop has Italian sodas which hit the spot in the 35 degree heat! The carp and cod to feed in the river are also huge!!!

An old style Japanese film studio. Has some sets and a museum you can visit and walk through. It’s small but if you’re in Shodoshima you didn’t come for large scale things. This is a fun place to walk around. Super cheap admission price. Standard Japanese gift shop for you to shop at inside too.

Short and simple museum, but very good value as you get a complimentary bottle of soy sauce plus 100¥ discount for the shop. The soft serve soy sauce ice cream is really good. Worth walking up the road to the nearby sake brewery and bakery, they're really good.

We were disappointed in this museum. There is no interactivity at all, just exhibition items. We were hoping to be able to see the soy sauce production but there is nothing like that here. The soy sauce soft serve ice cream was tasty tho.

It is a beautiful place full of aroma and history. You need to pay a small fee to enter the museum but you’ll find plenty of informations on the soy sauce factory process inside. Worth a visit if you’re in the neighbourhood. The soft serve could be a tiny bit more flavourful ! If you visit when there is a tourist bus incoming, it can be crowded inside.

Nice to stop by if you are in the island - it’s interesting to know how soy sauce has been made in old days. Soy sauce ice cream is sold at the small shop next to the museum which seems to be more popular than the museum itself. Some souvenirs are also available. Free parking available and the whole area smells like soy sauce.

A great way to find out how soy sauce is made! In the museum there were English explanations under the Japanese, so even though I can read kanji fairly well I felt like I understood the process better 😉 We couldn’t tour the factory but we did see the vats of beans and malt percolating. And the smell was something else!!

A fine place to learn about how to make soy sauce. Visitors get to learn the history of soy sauce making on Shodoshima island. Small and historic place. Soy sauce ice cream is acceptable, worth a try. But not many will like it.

You can smell the soy fragrance in the air!! Make sure to visit the wooden barrel aging room and also of course the ice cream!

An absolutely breathtaking experience. The ropeway ride offers stunning views of the mountains, valleys, and the Seto Inland Sea. From the top, the scenery is spectacular and perfect for photos, especially on a clear day. The ride is smooth and comfortable, and it’s one of the highlights of visiting Shodoshima. A must-do if you want to enjoy nature from above and capture unforgettable landscapes. 🌿🚡✨

Even though the ropeway is expensive and old (2700 Yen return), it is really the only way to truly appreciate Kankakei Gorge. The views from both car parkings are ok but nothing comparable to the ones while riding the ropeway, especially in Autumn. It changes slightly every year but it should be pretty red between 12-28th of November.

I took a couple of cable cars going up the mountains in Shikoku during my visit. This is one of them that I think it’s not quite worth it. The cable car was expensive and there isn’t much to see. 🫣🫣🫣 I think you could also drive up there since I saw a car park there. Amazing view but you can see these views in many places in Japan. I think we stayed around 15-20mins and then took the cable car back down. I would say it’s a place for locals to hike. If you have time you can hike since they have a trail for hiking but for tourists like us we didn’t have time to enjoy the hike.

The station was not large and seemed quite old. Adjacent to the building was a souvenir shop and a fast food eatery, providing outdoor seats too. A large outdoor carpark was next to the station. The scene from the viewing point was great, including the mountain, the city, and the outlying islands. The toilets were large and clean. The staff were very nice, reminding guests nearby of the car departure time. If the visitor was in a rush, they even skipped the check ticket procedure in order to save time.

Gorgeous breathtaking scenery. The souvenir shop at the summit is okay. But the food stall at the summit is below average. Better to bring your own picnic up, or eat something back down.

Nice view from the top. Ropeway itself is not too exciting, but the view is. Quite expensive for Japan (6000¥ one-way). Shuttle bus from the Port to the Ropeway and back is free, so i guess it’s even.

Nature as it best! If you visit shōdoshima, you need to take the ropeway. Best views over the island! There are also a fair amount of things to do and places to visit. Super recommended!

A big statue of Daikannon. You can visit the inside of the statue. There are many Bhuddhist-art pieces which calm your mind. There are also viewing spots on the top. There are a lot of parking spots but the access road is on maintenance so it might be difficult to drive.

Lovely staff and a great vibe at this temple. Climbing up the statue was amazing and just a great deal of knowledge and beauty inside as well

Fantastic look out spot that's free to visit. It has 360° views of the island and the best part is the lack of people. My friends and I had the observation deck to ourselves.

Huge Kannon Statue.

Stunning structure.

Good view from the chest of Budha and it has an elevator.

Beautiful big white statue

Overpriced. Don’t think it qualifies to be a “museum/gallery”, more a fun place for social media. Some of the exhibitions seemed to be “work in progress”, and the seemingly completed exhibition felt somewhat random. To be fair, some of the artwork inside were quite nice. But the “museum” did a poor job presenting them. Personally, both money and time are better spent elsewhere.

If you’re extremely fond of yokai would probably like it. They can use apps to learn about the history of yokai in detail. However, if you only want to see an interesting exhibition, it might disappoint them. The two exhibitions are located in different houses. If children are going to see them, they should be careful about safety because some of the stairs are quite steep.

i just passed by. it looks underwhelming.

Everyone must go here! It's got such a great atmosphere, they have done amazing at creating this place, from needing a code to get into various smaller museums to the torch and exploration part even the audio is done so well. And very informative about yokai

This exhibition actually shows

Cool art.

Very quiet peaceful town

You're gonna go here on any visit to Teshima probably, but I wouldn't recommend to go out of your way to visit here. It's mostly an archive of heartbeat recordings that you get to navigate through. You can record your own heartbeat as well but you'll have to pay for it. The one remotely interesting room is a dark room with mirrors and a light bulb reacting to the presently playing heartbeat. Very eerie and strange.

We visited Teshima with the purpose of visiting here due to it being featured in the book the library of heartbeats. The museum is simple, and a little pricey but my mother could record her heartbeat which was her wish so she was very satisfied. The beaches around the museum are beautiful

OK. This one’s a bit quirky, but it had its power. Choosing to hear random peoples’ hearts while staring at the Inland Sea may not sound like art but the whole process is undeniably a solid piece of it. Much to love, including the walk from the Teshima Museum. A hint: don’t take the main road back but the one through the forest…it’s a gorgeous walk and adds only a little time.

This installation had an interesting concept but the execution felt oddly clinical rather than artistic. You stand in a small, dark room listening to strangers’ heartbeats through speakers while watching a light bulb flicker in rhythm. The whole experience reminded me more of being at a cardiologist’s office than an art gallery - and if you have to visit a cardiologist, things usually aren’t going well for you! 😅 I get that Boltanski was going for something profound about human connection and the essence of life, but it just didn’t land for me. The heartbeat audio was loud monotonous, sometimes irregular (clinically bad) than moving, and watching a synchronized light bulb felt gimmicky rather than meaningful. The optional recording booth where you can add your own heartbeat to the archive didn’t help shake the medical clinic vibe. After experiencing the breathtaking Teshima Art Museum and other incredible installations on the island, this one flatlined by comparison. It’s not that it was expensive or took too long - it just wasn’t worth the effort of getting there. The concept sounds better on paper than it feels in person. Art is subjective of course, but this felt more like a clinical exam than an emotionally resonant experience. If you’re island-hopping and have limited time, I’d suggest focusing on the other amazing installations Teshima has to offer.

Small single installation in a very beautiful minimal design building in a remote and serene part of the island. The installation, frankly scared the **** out of me. My partner and I were the only ones there and if you can experience being in that room alone.... I highly recommend it. Nightmare inducing, at the cost of an oddly strange, thought provoking and wonderful experience. Pictures not allowed, you can't capture the experience with a camera anyways.

Unique experience! Located in a Very small house made by just 3 rooms including installation and heart beat recorder. No anticipation at all. Has to be tryed and lived in person! We’ve experienced in a reasonable time both: Les archives di cover as well as teshima art museum. They’re affordable walking or better bike distance each other. For art passionate is a Bad mistake to miss one of the two! I was there During week in the morning: No ticket reservation I n advance were required and no waiting at the arrival.

Written on: 20-May-2025 I came To know Teshima Island and the Heartbeat Archive[Shinzō-on no Ākaibu] from the Japanese Novel - The Library Of Heartbeats, by Laura Imai Messina. I checked about this place and it is really beautiful ;) not sure but I will definitely visit this place one day. Until then read my review 😁

Very good takoyaki! A very nice owner… one man band 🫡👍🏻 Thank you from Hong Kong!

Very friendly and delicious restaurant. Good tasty takoyaki and noodle with artistic dinning place. I must be back again when coming 小豆島 next time.

Amazing original takoyaki made with the same flour as udon noodle 🤤 ! Dai-san is very nice (and a good singer!) Come visite the maze town and stop by here to eat and play the 80's Mario game, you will definately enjoy ! Well deserved 5 stars 👌

The takoyaki at this restaurant is honestly the best I’ve had in Japan! You can choose the filling, ranging from traditional octopus to shrimp mayo. Next time we come to Shodoshima, we’re definitely going to come back here.

I forgot to gave a review but to recall the memories it was the worst experience in our trip for setonai sea. Two stars for food, the taste of food is good. But the owner seems in a bad temper at the day when we were visiting. We spoke Japanese and ordered enough food, I had a zoom meeting for 90 minutes but I didn't talk in the store, all I did was just listening. Because for lunch menu there is not many options. After lunch I ordered another coffee bc I don't wanna be rude without ordering after lunch. But just as the time I finished coffee, the owner said the store was closing and hoping me to leave. Alright make sense, but when I was wearing my shoes, there was a couple entering and asked if the store is still open and the owner said yes in front me. Lol excuse me..? According the last reviews the owner seems should be a friendly person, but his attitude was really aggressive at that day when we visited the store.

Best Takoyaki I have ever had! This little hole in the wall is alluring and seductive with amazing food that will make you happy you wandered in. There were so many different styles and flavors to choose from, along with amazing sauces for dipping, making these takoyaki over the top and amazing!

Olive beef tofu is the best thing I’ve had on this trip

Hidden away off one of the main roads. Menu has some English, but you can get by with Google translate and a very friendly staff. Seating is small and intimate, with some space for larger parties. Sake was very nice with some interesting subtleties with the olive yeast they use. Their bakery is on the walk there as well. Food is mostly light cafe with a more substantial lunch set that was very good. I had an extremely enjoyable time, would absolutely return.

love this brewery! shōdoshima exclusive and lots of award-winning sake to choose from. educational display. a café-like area for enjoying drinks and food. friendly staff. that tiny rice field outside was so cute!

If you like Sake and its scum, you would love the food. Also the place was really quiet and peaceful in Japanese traditional building. Highly recommend it to go.

I really enjoy the sake from Shodoshima. It’s made with olive yeast, which gives it a distinctive fragrance and a light, clean taste.

Very lovely environment here! Not many choices of food actually. I went there for lunch and there was only one set meal for me to choose. HOWEVER!!! The food was so good especially the soup. The restaurant itself was very nicely decorated too!

Nice lunch menu, including tea and a small sweet. The setting is lovely and there are several different types of sake to try!

Though there wasn’t much inside this sake-brewery, it did sell sake and its relates- products that interested and/or even intrigued you.

We went on a rainy day, there were no people there other than us. The atmosphere was so peaceful, like a Ghibli film. The sounds of nature accompanied with the local grown food was so amazing. The guy there was so friendly, we had to cancel the tea because we had to hurry to catch the bus and he allowed us to change the meal set at the last moment.

Excellent experience. Chef only had 1 reservation that night - me. But he still accepted it. Restaurant was in a traditional Japanese house with multiple rooms and seating options. Sat near the large shoji window overlooking the garden. Food was excellent with many surprises featuring local ingredients like goya (bitter gourd), olive fed beef etc. Reasonably priced for a 5 course meal. Will recommend and return.

We were treated very well and the food was extremely fresh. One of the best I've been in my life. The menu was a reinterpretation of traditional and contemporary asian food, with well served portions. If you are in the area, you should reserve to eat at this place.

This place is not easy to locate, but it is worth finding. It immerses you deeper into a local community - quaint and peaceful. You will have no choice but to slow down and feel the air in a dining hall by a small Japanese Garden. The place can host around 6+ groups of diners and is managed by a lady. She does everything by herself - receiving the guests, taking orders, making coffee/tea, cooking, serving, and handling payment. All by herself, with grace and a great attitude. It feels like she wants to take care of each of her guests and not make them wait too long. We really enjoyed the food, every bit of it. I really appreciate the Japanese "Mottainai" philosophy and their approach to food. The vegetables, carbohydrates, and proteins were properly portioned, leaving you with a satisfying feeling at the end of the set meal. Local seasonal ingredients were used, ensuring freshness was at its peak. There was no excessive seasoning; instead, subtle touches like a hint of mustard on top of the pork dishes were added just enough to enhance the natural sweetness of the meat. After the meal, if you happen to have a bit of time before the next bus arrives, I highly recommend taking a quiet stroll in the neighborhood. It's a perfect opportunity to soak in the surroundings and savor the peaceful atmosphere.

Beautiful restaurant and we ate lunch on tatami mats overlooking the garden. The lunch set was delicious! Some of the best pork I have ever had. Wonderful coffee and I had the chiffon cake with freshly whipped cream for dessert. Highly recommend!!

The Berry smoothie is "must-try"!! 🍓🫐 although it's seasonal. It was very tasty! I had the olive pork plate. Pork was good and tender, also it had lots of veggies as well. They have vegetarian option too. The place is a old Japanese house where has a nice, unique atmosphere. Ryoko san, the owner, is super nice! Tips: You can make a reservation but it needs to be two business days before! I will go back there for sure when I'm in Teshima next time!

The owner has terrible attitude. I never experience that in Japan in my life. Food is OK. But there are more better options in this island. Not recommend.

Beautiful location to have lunch. They cook local foods but other than that it’s nothing special about food. They use tables and chairs like the ones used at elementary schools so they are too small for adults. No air conditioning here so it’s so hot in summer.

I wish my stomach had more capacity for both the onigiri set and the beef hamburger! SO SO SO GOOD! When you bite into the burger, the fresh and crisp vegetables, juicy and flavourful beef patty, and fragrant bun all go very well together. Onigiri set was very well done too!

Simple wholesome onigiri set and yummy burger that we had as a takeaway. They have a pretty efficient system. Came here at 2 plus and as they couldn’t sit us as they were closing soon, asked us to come back at 3 pm to collect our food for takeaway. Works well as we have a nice 30 mins to walk around and take pictures at the nearby Love in Shodoshima artwork amongst the rice paddy fields.

Wonderful little cafe. We stopped on for a bite on the way to see the rice fields. It was a little crowded so the staff asked if we would eat on the terrace. But they were so worried we would get cold they kept bringing out blankets and hot water bottles. It was very kind of them. Enjoyed my Ice cream. It was soy sauce flavored?? but still delicious!

Great food and service. Indeed there was a wait during the holidays, but it was worth the wait. Everything was very tasty.

Check out the close time before you go.We couldn't get in at our first visit. It's a great place for lunch besides noodle restaurants all around the island. Food was highly than average. The downside was the changeable closed dates.

Amazing place near the rice fields and old farmers kabuki theatre. Great food and service. Super nice owner. Cozy and a must visit on this island. Good view from the terrace. They do serve burgers but and they look great, but I suggest trying their fish. Also they have kids set and this place is dog friendly.

I really enjoyed both the space itself as well as the artworks inside. It's a fairly quick visit - not more than 20-30 mins probably - but some of the paintings really leave an impression. The garden is also very beautiful, and stepping into the outhouse is super cool too.

I absolutely loved this museum! It's small but the architecture, the layout, it all leads to a final piece so pay attention to each piece of art. I especially loved the red rocks and red windows. It reminded me of blood. I highly recommend this museum.

Great art house in Teshima- Yokoo House was built in a renovated old house, so when wandering inside, make sure to admire the original wooden beams and low entranceways typical of an old, Japanese house. Of course everyone who visits is also impressed by the colorful modern art, modern design & out-of-this-world glass bottom floor, red-rock waterfall, vivid imagery & powerful colors. Love this artist & actually wish I could move in here! The waterfall chimney is awesome (make sure to whisper).

Should be free. Definitely not worth 700 yen. It's a basic house with a few paintings inside. Nothing spectacular there.

It's a very nice old house completely renewed and some art pieces. It's a collaboration between artist Tadanori Yokoo and the architect Yuki Nagayama... The best art installation in Teshima. *it's not allowed to take pictures inside the museum.

My favourite installation from both Naoshima and Teshima. So many cool things inside the buildings but unfortunately pictures not allowed. I had to wait 45min for it to open so went to the nearby beach but so worth it!

The colored glass is a one way mirror so don't do anything stupid thinking other people can't see you on the other side 😂 My favorite part is inside the house where the glass flooring allows you to see koi fish 🐟 swimming below your feet.

An atmospheric and immersive art experience. I was prepared for it to be more scary,; it was edgy in a satisfying way yet calming too

Recreating a storm raging outside, the piece evoked the important but tenuous safety and comfort that the older homes of Teshima provide.

One of our fav. Art is about feeling and there you DO feel.

Dark inside but mimicked the sense of storm really well! Astonishing

Interesting experience,though it is daily life of the resident.

It is alright, nothing amazing though.

Very strange experience

Fun and playful artwork but the surroundings are quite depressing and left almost abandoned. It's just 5min from the ferry harbor so you can pass by! Free entrance, accessible always.

It's fun and playful. Feel free to shoot baskets and laugh and play.

Alright, buckle up, folks, 'cause we're about to dive into the wild world of multi-basket basketball courts. Picture this: you stroll onto the court, and bam! You're hit with not one, not two, but a whole smorgasbord of hoops. You've got hoops for days, hoops for nights, hoops for every mood and occasion. It's like a hoops carnival, and you're the star attraction. So grab your ball, lace up those sneakers, and get ready to unleash your inner hoops maestro on this multi-basket masterpiece. It's a slam dunk waiting to happen, folks!

This is an interesting artwork which makes the visitors to interact more with each other in this place. By the way, they also provided basketballs to play in this place.

Funny! It's a kid's playground and most of the balls are deflated. But makes a good stop while waiting for the ferry if you're stuck on the island.

Really interactive and my family enjoyed it so much! Only few minutes walk from the port

Most underrated exhibit in Teshima. It is free and you can meet people and play a crazy game of basketball. Getting a double basket work a single shot felt really nice

Visited Millennium Olive Terrace to see the famous 1000-year-old tree on Shodoshima. While the view is lovely, offering a clear sight of the three islands of Angel Road, I’m not sure it’s worth the drive for just a single tree. The space is quite small, especially considering the JPY 1,000 entrance fee per person. We spent no more than 20 minutes there, and I would suggest sending just one person to take photos. On the positive side, the staff were incredibly helpful, going out of their way to make our short visit as enjoyable as possible. They even helped us take family photos and served us some tea with a sweet, which was a nice touch. Overall, while the view and staff were nice, the experience didn’t quite match the value for the cost.

We biked and passed by this place and thought maybe there had sth nice to see. It turned out to be one 1000 years old Oliver tree and one candy and one Oliver tea. It was just like modern art that with a bit of self meditation and imagination it would worth the 1000 yen we paid per person. Which thb I would prefer those museums in naoshima.

Was disappointed but was wondering how the century old tree will look like. But their hospitality was good.

Very old olive tree was imported here from Spain. Although there's nothing else than this tree, it's also a good view spot especially to look over the Angel Road in the Island. Check the tide before come here, to see the islands connected.

Cool tree but weirdly owned by a company who brought it from overseas

Underwhelming and not worth the time, let alone the entry cost.

You can enjoy angel road from here.

Excellent

(Translated by Google) The town has complicated alleys, and the name was given because they look like a maze. It is said that it was intentionally built to protect the islanders from enemy invasion, but the exact reason is unknown. Basically, castle towns have complicated streetscapes. This is because they are designed to prevent enemies from charging straight into them. On the other hand, they are designed to allow for interception (when attacking), so the roads are kept wide to a certain extent. However, these streets are too narrow, so could soldiers carrying guns have passed through them? Considering this, it seems that these streets were not designed but rather naturally developed. By the way, Tokyo has been "redeveloped" recently, and the streets have become much nicer. However, until about 50 years ago, there were many small roads that were not accessible to cars, let alone bicycles. Of course, there were unpaved roads all over the city that smelled of urine and had dog (or maybe human?) ****s rolling around. The "20th Century Boys" ran around such towns. I wonder if the air raids were the reason why such maze-like alleys were left in Tokyo? Immediately after the war, Tokyo was bombed by the US military and turned into a wasteland, with many lands where entire families were killed and owners unknown. I think that because other people "owned and developed" such lands without permission, the streets separated by narrow private roads were created. In any case, the "handwritten registration documents" of the time could have been easily rewritten...

(Translated by Google) There was a sign next to the Tonosho Town Hall that said ``Maze Town,'' so I decided to take a walk around it, but the area around the sign was probably due to redevelopment, and the buildings had been demolished, leaving parking lots and vacant lots with good visibility. It felt like it was trying to become a town, and it didn't feel like a maze town at all. Looking at the map, it doesn't seem like it's a maze unless you walk a little further. I thought that if we were to revitalize the town, we would need to devise measures such as making signboards and showing maps showing which areas are in the maze. (Original) 土庄町役場の横に「迷路のまち」という看板があったので、少し散策してみましたが、看板付近は再開発のためか建物が壊されて駐車場や空き地が目立ち、見通しのよい町になろうとしている感じでで、迷路のまちという感じは一切しませんでした。 地図でみると、もう少し歩かないと「迷路」にはなっていないようですね。 町おこしをするのであれば、看板でも作って、どの付近が迷路になっているか地図を示しておくなど工夫が必要かなぁと思いました。

Cute cafe. Small with only four tables. Lots of books which you can peruse and retro crockery. The scone flavours are seasonal (currently, it's chai). It's more of an American style scone. Crispy outside and flavourful with hints of coconut. Nice place to rest for a while.

Best baked goods in Setouchi! The scones are amazing by the way! They also have great coffee ☕️

Perfect place that I found here. As always Japanese people are so kind. Delicious food, I try Pita Chicken and it's served with a green cream sauce enriching the flavor. Also the strawberry cheesecake is so delicious.

Delicious curry, cute atmosphere and good beer. Also, some exceptional looking bread that we got to take away. Really great value for money.

We waited for the cafe to open at the advertised 10am but it didn’t. When we asked the owner she said she had decided to open at 1030. So we had wasted time waiting. She also wasn’t welcoming or apologetic. Big thumbs down.

Nice charming little coffee shop in a little converted industrial building (seaweed workshop). Had a good pour-over coffee and a tasty scone.

Wandered into this cafe on a hot day while exploring the art on Teshima. A small menu of dishes made from local ingredients. On the day of my visit there were not many vegetarian options but some excellent baked goods made on site. A cozy quirky space like a club library from a hundred years ago. Lots of wood and windows.

if you're looking for late night meal, small or big, this is the place. shodoshima doesn't have much restaurant and this one is good and affordable

This place has gone from bad to worse. Expensive and very little quantity. It used to be good.

It's open till 1am and has good diner food. The food always comes out HOT which is pleasant. It's def not 5 star and maybe not even 4 star, but it's filling and tasty. I at least enjoy it. The menu is easy to understand bc of the pcitures and the prices are reasonable. Remember, this is a diner, so it can be... kinda dirty sometimes but it's never gross. Just "diner dirty" like Waffle House or Denny's. Btw, if you have a pizza craving, don't order it here. You're gonna have to shell out for Pizza-La if you want the good stuff.

The only family restaurant in Shodoshima. Good service in general and great value for money.

Very friendly for families with toddlers from services to their food. We love it✅️🥰

If you ate too many Japanese food, it is good to try western style at Joyfull. The food is reason (cheap)

Common family resto in Tonosho. Friendly staff and good facilities

"Sorry, tourists aren't welcome" (really got told this when I called... she said it's because of corona)

(Translated by Google) A popular restaurant where reservations are required. This restaurant is loved by locals. Smoking is permitted, so please confirm this by phone when making a reservation. The portions are quite generous, so if you're dining alone, the set menu might be a better choice. Everything is deliciously seasoned, and when I asked the staff for recommendations, they were very kind and helpful, recommending dishes that balanced my order and introducing seasonal fish! Everything was truly delicious, and I was very satisfied. It was a wonderful trip and a memory. I'd definitely like to come back here again! (Original) 予約必須の人気店 地元の方にも愛されているお店です。 喫煙可能店なので、電話で予約の際に喫煙可能店である案内の確認があります。 料理はボリューミーなので一人だと定食メニューの方が良いかもです。 味付けもどれも美味しく、店員さんにおすすめを訊くと頼んだメニューのバランスを考えたおすすめメニューや旬の魚の紹介などして下さり親切です！ どれも本当に美味しく非常に満足でした。 素敵な旅行の思い出になりました。 またぜひこちらに来たいと思いました！

(Translated by Google) I visited without a reservation around 5 pm in the evening. Actually, it might be safer to make a reservation. There is a parking lot nearby where you can park several cars. This place is really fresh and delicious 😄 Sashimi and tempura made with locally caught fish are the best 👍 I had to write my order on the slip myself🙌 The store clerk was also nice and I was very satisfied 😆 (Original) 夕方17時頃に予約なしでお伺い致しました。ホントは予約したほうが無難かもしれません。 数台停めれる駐車場が近くにあります。 ここは本当に新鮮で美味しい😄 地元でとれた魚を使った刺身や天ぷらは最高です👍 注文は自分で伝票に書くスタイルでした🙌 店員さんも良い方で、大満足でした😆

(Translated by Google) This restaurant was recommended by the landlady of the inn where I was staying. The boiled fish served as an appetizer was already delicious. The sashimi platter was so extravagant it was hard to believe it was just one portion, and it included conger eel and other fish. Other dishes that were also delicious were the butter-fried beikha fish and stir-fried asparagus, specialties of Shodoshima. (Original) 泊まった宿の女将さんにおすすめされたお店。 お通しの煮魚からすでにとても美味しい。 刺盛りも1人前とは思えないほど豪華で、鱧なども入っていた。 他には小豆島の特産であるベイカのバター炒めやアスパラ炒めも絶品だった。

(Translated by Google) Even though we arrived at a busy time without a reservation, the staff were very polite and I was impressed. They had a lovely, gentle and friendly personality. The food was also delicious, starting with the fish appetizer, which made the beer go down well! Next time I come, I'd like to sit at the counter and enjoy a chat with the staff; this is a truly wonderful restaurant. (Original) とても混んでいる時間に、予約も無しに行ったにも関わらず、お店の方が丁寧に対応してくださり、感激しました。柔らかく、人当たりの良いお人柄が素敵でした。 お料理も、お通しのお魚からもう美味しくてビールが進みます！ 次に来た時は、カウンター席でお店の方とお喋りをしながら楽しみたいなと思うような、本当に素晴らしいお店です。

(Translated by Google) I visited this restaurant after being told about it by a nearby lodging. Normally I don't like sea bream, but when I tried the sea bream that was served as an appetizer I was shocked at how delicious it was! The squid, the flounder, everything was tasty! It's been a long time since I've had such a good restaurant. It's busy every day with locals so it's hard to get a reservation, but if you find a seat you're lucky. If I go to Shodoshima again I'd definitely like to visit again and make a reservation early. (Original) 近所の宿で教えてもらい訪店。 本来、鯛は好きじゃなかったけどお通しで出てきた鯛を恐る恐る食べてみるとこれが美味しい！イカもカレイも何もかも旨い！ こんな当たり店は超久々だ。 地元民で連日賑わっているのでなかなか予約できないが、席が空いていればラッキーと言えよう。 また小豆島に行った際は早めの予約で是非再訪店したいですね。

Tried this place after seeing it recommended by an influencer. The view is excellent and definitely worth seeing. Food-wise, they only serve set meals priced around ¥3,500–4,000. Portions are quite small, so if you’re a big eater, this may not be the place for you. Taste is decent, but the atmosphere is what really boosts the rating. Reservations are a must, even during off-peak seasons as they prepare ingredients based on reservation.

If you're in the mood for a delicious pizza and an amazing view, look no further than this waterfront pizzeria. With its prime location right by the water, this place offers a stunning vista of the surrounding area that's sure to take your breath away. But the view is just the beginning - the pizza here is absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend trying the chili pizza, which is topped with just the right amount of spice to give it a satisfying kick without overwhelming your taste buds. Every slice is loaded with a generous amount of high-quality toppings that are sure to satisfy even the most discerning pizza lover. What really sets this pizzeria apart is the combination of great food and a breathtaking view. It's the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a delicious meal while taking in the natural beauty of the surrounding area. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the service is always top-notch. Overall, I highly recommend this pizzeria to anyone who loves good food and a great view - you won't be disappointed!

Charming setting with a spacious dining and zen vibe. Japanese fusion in a casual though tasty way. 3 starters including fish carpaccio and eggplant mouse. All are mains also spectacular. Limited hours to plan accordingly.

I have to say, everything here is perfect! First of all, Do try the Special Bouillabaisse Pasta, it is soooo good! I would like to lick the plate. Second, the staff here are very professional and helpful,and they speak perfect English too. Third, look at the view here, the sea ,the island ,the cloud.

Pizza 🍕 was great but not savoy Tokyo level. The chilli pizza was very spicy 🥵 I also enjoyed the oyster pizza. The view was awesome though, so I recommend booking ahead so that you can request a table next to the water 🌊

If you're looking for a place for your group go eat on the island. This is the place you want to go. If you're biking here, bike parking gets full around noon. Reservations recommended. I also recommend 1 pizza 🍕 per adult. Service is fast and the view on a sunny day is unbeatable. Credit cards accepted.

Well-designed atmosphere and great selection of specialty island beer. The architectural detailing and its relationship to the adjacent sea is remarkable. Exceptional food quality. One of the best restaurant experiences in Japan.

I was walking along the Angel Road beach and notice tall red building near it. The building is quite old but pretty. The scenery from above is amazing.

Nice place.

(Translated by Google) Although it is located in the town of Tonosho, once you pass through the gate, you will be enveloped in a quiet and solemn atmosphere. The bright vermilion-painted three-story pagoda stands out against the blue sky, and is so beautiful that you will stop in your tracks. The magnificent mountain gate, the carvings of the main hall, and the tile work are also worth seeing, and it was surprising to see such a full-scale temple in the middle of town. The seated statue of Kobo Daishi is also impressive, with prayer beads firmly held in his hands. One of the charms of this temple is that there are not many tourists, and you can see locals quietly praying. Saikoji Temple is also attracting attention as a sacred place for the anime "Teasing Master Takagi-san". The three-story pagoda appears in the work, and it is a great spot for fans to see "that scenery" in real life. It is also fun to walk around the maze town and immerse yourself in the world of the work. It is well worth visiting as a cultural hub unique to Shodoshima where history and art intersect. This review was created using chat GPT. Here are my impressions. The view from the inner sanctuary is amazing. The densely packed townscape that is unique to islands is truly charming. (Original) 土庄の町中にありながら、ひとたび門をくぐれば静寂と荘厳な空気に包まれる西光寺。鮮やかな朱塗りの三重塔が青空に映え、思わず足を止めてしまうほどの美しさです。立派な山門、本堂の彫刻や瓦の細工も見ごたえ十分で、町中にこんな本格的な伽藍があるのは驚きでした。 弘法大師を祀る坐像も印象的で、合掌する手元には数珠がしっかりと握られています。観光客はそれほど多くなく、地元の方が静かに手を合わせる姿が見られるのも、この寺の魅力のひとつです。 そんな西光寺、実はアニメ『からかい上手の高木さん』の聖地としても注目を集めています。三重塔が作中に登場し、ファンにとっては“あの風景”がリアルに広がる嬉しいスポット。迷路のまち散策とあわせて、作品の世界観に浸りながら歩くのも一興です。 歴史とアートが交差する小豆島ならではの文化的拠点として、訪れる価値は十分にあります。 この口コミはchat GPTで作成しています。 ここからは私の感想。 奥の院からの眺めはすばらしいです。 島特有の密集した町並みは本当に魅力的です。

it’s funny that the monk(?) sorta hushed me out so that he could close the door at sharply 17:00. not that it affects me to get some nice shots within exactly 5min.

(Translated by Google) We arrived early for a rickshaw ride on Shodoshima, which only took half an hour. They took us to this beautiful temple.

(Translated by Google) When I think of Shodoshima, I think of 24 eyes and quintuplets. I think I saw the movie, but all I remember is the scene where the female teacher arrives on her bicycle and the scene where she reunites with her surviving student later in life. I guess it was a post-war anti-war movie. I hope it doesn't get taken advantage of by today's crazy anti-Japanese leftists. (Original) 小豆島っていうと、24の瞳と五つ児ちゃんだったな。映画は見た気がするけど、女教師が自転車に乗ってやって来た場面と晩年生き残った教え子と再会したところしか覚えていない。戦後の反戦映画だったのかな。現在の狂った反日左翼に利用されなければ良いが。

(Translated by Google) When you think of Shodoshima, you think of twenty-four eyes. This is a statue that you should see at least once when you come to Shodoshima.

(Translated by Google) This is the perfect place to gain some knowledge about the movie ``Twenty-Four Eyes'' and get motivated by having an image in mind before heading out to see Shodoshima. (Original) 二十四の瞳の映画の知識や、先にイメージを持ってモチベーションを上げてから小豆島観光に臨む、ピッタリの場所です。

(Translated by Google) A monument to the song ``Olive Song'' is erected next to Tonosho Port (Statues of Peace). ♫In the breeze that makes dreams come true~♫ A stone's throw away is a monument to Hoya Ozaki's haiku. Hoya comes to the sunset on the island where the fish are flying in front of his eyes Hoya Ozaki: Born in 1885 in Tottori City, died in 1926 in Nangoan, Tonosho Town (Shodoshima Hoya Ozaki Memorial Museum). I was not able to go to the memorial museum due to my itinerary. Also, at Hongaku-ji Temple (on the opposite bank) there is a monument with a poem by Ogiwara Isensui, the teacher of Hoya Ozaki. (Original) 土庄港〔平和の群像〕の傍に「オリーブの歌」歌碑が建っている。 ♫夢もたのしいそよ風に～♫ 少し離れて尾崎放哉句碑が建っている。 眼の前魚がとんでみせる　島の夕陽に来て居る　放哉 尾崎放哉：明治１８年（１８８５）鳥取市生まれ、大正１５年（１９２６）土庄町・南郷庵（小豆島尾崎放哉記念館）で没。記念館には、旅程の関係で行くことが出来なかった。また本覚寺（対岸）には尾崎放哉の師の荻原井泉水の句碑がある。

(Translated by Google) Shodoshima Tonosho Port This is a bronze statue of twenty-four eyes created by Sakae Tsuboi, which reminds us of the story. I remember the movie 24 Eyes, Seven Children and Song on the Beach and feel sad. I feel thankful and thankful for peace. Nowadays, we have a lot of things... In an era where “Mottainai” has become a dead phrase. If Professor Oishi were present, how would things change? While thinking like that, I looked at the bronze statue and remembered the tragedy of war. I think it's a wonderful statue. (Original) 小豆島 土庄港 こちらは、壷井栄さん作の二十四の瞳の銅像で、物語を思い出します。 二十四の瞳の映画、7つの子や浜辺の歌を思い出し物悲しく 平和の有り難さや感謝を思います。 今は物が有り余っている時代.... “勿体ない”が死語になっている時代に 大石先生がいらっしゃれば“どの様に移る”のでしょうか？ その様に考えながら、銅像をみて戦争の悲惨さを思い “素敵な像なぁ”と思います。

(Translated by Google) The statue is relatively famous not only on Shodoshima but also throughout Japan, and there was a ``word'' from the Governor of Kagawa Prefecture about the statue on the back, so I have attached a photo. (Original) 小豆島のみならず、日本中で比較的に有名な銅像ですが、裏側にも銅像についての香川県知事の「お言葉」がありましたので、写真を添付しています。

The old tree is awesome.

(Translated by Google) It was raining the day before, but it was sunny when I visited☀️The 1600-year-old sacred tree was imbued with mystery and power! I admire that power! Thank you 😊 (Original) 前日は雨でしたが訪問した時は晴れ☀️樹齢1600年の神木には神秘かつパワーが宿ってました！そのパワーにあやかります！感謝😊

(Translated by Google) It is within 10 minutes drive from the B&B. Let's go there today. The temple cannot be entered, but everyone should go to see the Shimpaku, which is said to be over 1,600 years old. It has branches growing in three directions from about 1 meter high, and looks like an "elephant", "dragon" and "turtle". Maybe because there is a big tree here, the breeze is very cool here (Original) 距離民宿開車10分鐘內車程，今天就先過去看看，寺廟無法進入，但大家應該都是去看 真柏，據說樹齡超過1600年，從高約1公尺處往三個方向長出支幹，樣子就像「象」「龍」「龜」。可能因為有大樹在此，這邊微風徐徐，非常涼爽

(Translated by Google) I came here after hearing from the locals that this is Shodoshima's number one power spot. The huge Shinpaku tree, which is 1600 years old, was also a sight to behold. I thought it was a miraculous power spot. Thank you very much for visiting us. (Original) こちらは小豆島一のパワースポットと、地元の方から御聞きして、来さして頂きました。樹齢1600年のシンパクの巨木も圧巻でした☝️。霊験あらたかなパワースポットだと思いました。お参りさして頂き有り難うございました。

(Translated by Google) The dragon painting drawn by Satoru Saitou is impressive and wonderful. (Original) 斎灯サトルさんが描いた龍の絵、迫力あって素敵です。

(Translated by Google) Beautiful Buddhist temple that is on the pilgrimage of the 88 temples of Shodoshima (not to be confused with the pilgrimage route of the 88 temples of Shikoku, which is the famous one). It has cherry trees that make it even more beautiful in spring but without a doubt the star is the very ancient tree there, a Chinese juniper that was struck by lightning a long time ago but was not destroyed, because it is said that there are three deities in it that protect it. And in fact, there are three viewpoints around the tree and from each of them you can see one of those animals (dragon, turtle or elephant). (Original) Precioso templo budista que está en la peregrinación de los 88 templos de Shodoshima (no confundir con la ruta de peregrinación de los 88 templos de Shikoku, que es la famosa). Tiene cerezos que lo hacen más bonito aún en primavera pero sin duda la estrella es el árbol antiquísimo que hay, un junípero chino al que le cayó un rayo hace tiempo pero no lo destruyó, porque se dice que hay tres deidades en él que lo protegen. Y de hecho, hay tres puntos de vista alrededor del árbol y desde cada uno de ellos se puede ver uno de esos animales (dragón, tortuga o elefante).

(Translated by Google) This can be considered a reasonable tourist spot on Shodoshima. The highlight is the Shinpaku tree, which you'll probably find in your guidebook. It's written as "true oak." When it grows this large and intricately, it's no wonder that gods reside there. When you get close to one of these old trees, you get the mysterious feeling that you can instantly smell a lovely fragrance or hear something from afar. It's a shame that you can't touch it. It's nice to just look at this tree and then leave, but if you take your time to look all the way to the main hall, the mountain behind it completes the atmosphere of the entire temple. The paintings on the ceiling of the main hall and the carvings on the transoms are also beautiful. (Original) 小豆島の良心的観光スポットと言える。 見どころはあなたのガイドブックにもきっと書いてあるシンパク。真の柏と書く。ここまで大きく、複雑に育っていれば神も宿るに決まっている。こうした古い木の近くに寄れば、瞬間フワッといい香りが薫るような、遠くから何かが聞こえるような不思議な思いを受けたりもする。触れられないのが残念だ。 この木だけワンポイントで見て去るのもいいが、本堂まで丁寧に見ていくと後背に控えた山の佇まいが、寺全体の雰囲気を締めて見せてくれている。 本堂の天井の絵や欄間の彫刻もよい。

(Translated by Google) Okunoin Kasagataki-dera Temple, the 72nd Shodoshima Pilgrimage Site, is a mountain temple where you can truly "experience ascetic training." The moment you pass through the stone monument at the entrance, the atmosphere changes dramatically. A bell hangs nearby, adding to the solemn atmosphere. But the real crux of the matter begins here. The approach to the main hall is no longer a road, but a rocky area. It is a "slightly tough" route, where you have to crawl up using chains and ropes. Stone lanterns are lined up on both sides, creating a solemn scene that seems like a "pathway for ascetics." At the top of the climb, the main hall appears, built as if clinging to the cliff. The presence of this architecture, where nature and human faith seem to be in conflict, is extraordinary. It is a one-of-a-kind space where thrills and faith come side by side. Please note that photography is prohibited inside the main hall. It's a place where you can burn the image into your mind and eye without relying on photographs. There's also a cat napping in the shade at your feet, which is an unexpected source of healing... a place where "stillness and movement" truly coexist. Bring comfortable shoes and a little bit of determination, and be sure to visit this sanctuary. A cherished worship experience that's a little different from ordinary sightseeing awaits. This review was created using chat GPT. Here are my thoughts. It was great. It's easier to climb than it looks. To get to the main hall, you have to go through a cave, and photography is strictly restricted. There is a parking lot and toilets. The cat wouldn't let me pet it, so I guess it's full of worldly desires. (Original) 小豆島霊場第72番・奥之院 笠ヶ瀧寺は、まさに“修行体験型”の山岳寺院。 入口の石碑をくぐった瞬間から、空気がスッと変わるのが印象的。すぐそばには鐘が吊られており、荘厳な雰囲気を高めてくれます。 だがしかし、真の核心はここから。 本堂へ至る参道は、もはや道ではなく岩場。鎖やロープを頼りに這い登る“ちょいガチ”なルートです。両脇にはびっしりと石灯籠が並び、まるで“修験者の通り道”のような厳かな光景が広がります。 登りきった先には、断崖絶壁にへばりつくように建てられた本堂が出現。自然と人の信仰がせめぎ合ったような、この建築の存在感はただ事ではありません。 スリルと信仰が隣り合わせの、唯一無二の空間です。 なお、本堂内部は撮影禁止。写真に頼らず、自分の目と心に焼き付ける場でもあります。 足元には、日陰で昼寝する猫がいたりと、思わぬ癒しもあったりして…まさに“静と動”が同居する場所。 歩きやすい靴＆少しの気合を持って、ぜひこの聖域へ。普通の観光とは一味違う、魂に残る参拝体験が待っています。 この口コミはchat GPTで作成しています。 ここからは私の感想。 良かったですよ。 見た目よりは登りやすいです。 本堂へは洞窟をくぐって行きます、撮影は厳しく制限されているようです。 駐車場、トイレ有り。 猫ちゃんは撫でさせてくれませんでした、煩悩まみれなんでしょうね。

(Translated by Google) Due to the rain, the stone steps had turned into a small mountain stream. As a rider, I climbed to the top in motorcycle shoes, but it was still quite dangerous. Even when dry, it is preferable to use shoes with anti-slip properties. The path to the shrine also has steep hairpin turns and is covered in moss, so care must be taken. It seems that photography is prohibited beyond the cave. You never know where there will be surveillance cameras in this day and age, so it's best to give up on photography. (Original) 雨の影響で石段が小さい渓流みたいになっていました、ライダーなのでバイク用の靴で登頂しましたがかなり危なかったです。 乾いていても滑り止めがされている靴のほうが好ましい。 参道の道も急こう配のヘアピンで苔もはえ手いるので注意が必要。 洞窟から先は撮影禁止だそうです。　今の世の中何処に監視カメラが付いているかわかりません。撮影はあきらめましょう。

(Translated by Google) I visited Okunoin Kasagataki from Ryokoji Temple, the 72nd temple of Shodoshima's 88 Sacred Sites. When I parked my car in a parking lot that looked like a vacant lot with goats and walked up, I suddenly came across a long stone staircase! It's already a great atmosphere from here. As you go up the stone steps, there is a bell, and from there there is a chain. If you go up carefully, you will come to a place like a rest area, and there is a cute cat. The main shrine is built into the rock surface above it. If you go up an even steeper rocky area, you will reach the main shrine, but to get there you will have to pass through a cave carved into the rock. Photography is not allowed from here, but there is a happy passage, and there is a chief priest in the main shrine who will write a stamp for you, and you can also purchase a wish ring. I was able to relax and pray while looking at the beautiful scenery outside. When I returned to the rest area, a cat came over and played with me for a while. It was so cute that I couldn't let go of it It was a very nice and quiet place If I come to Shodoshima again, I would like to stop by. (Original) 小豆島八十八ヶ所霊場の72番札所 滝湖寺(りょうこうじ)から奥之院笠ヶ滝にお参りしました ヤギのいる空き地のような駐車場に車を停めて歩いて行くといきなりの長い石段が！ ここからもうとても良い雰囲気 石段を上がって行くと鐘があり、そこからは鎖場 慎重に登って行くと休憩所のような所があり、そこに可愛い猫ちゃんがいます 本殿はそこから更に上の岩肌に埋め込まれたように建っています 更に急な岩場を登って行くと本殿があるのですが、そこへ行くには岩に掘られた洞窟を通ります。ここからは撮影禁止ですが幸せくぐりがあったり、本殿にはちゃんと住職がいて御朱印も書いてくださいますし、願掛け指輪も購入できます 外の美しい景色を観ながらのんびりお参り出来ました 休憩所に戻ると猫ちゃんが寄って来てくれて、しばらく戯れていました。可愛くて離れがたかったです 静かでとても素敵な所でした また小豆島に来たら寄りたいです

(Translated by Google) A temple clinging to the cliffs of Shodoshima that was featured in a TV show called "Strange Scenery" a long time ago. The opening hours are 8:00-14:00, so I gave up on climbing up using the iron chains. This is my personal Shodoshima Adventure No.2❗️ (Original) 昔々、珍百景か何かで紹介された小豆島の崖に張り付いた寺院。 開場時間 8:00～14:00を過ぎていたので、鉄鎖を使って登るのを諦めました。 【私的】小豆島アドベンチャー No.2 ですね❗️

(Translated by Google) You have to climb a steep cliff. If you fall, you are responsible for your own actions. There is no point in coming to this temple unless you enter the cave at the top. (Original) 急な崖を登って行きます。落ちたら自己責任ですよ。頂上の洞窟に入らないと、この寺に来た意味がありません。

(Translated by Google) This is a temple whose main shrine is built on top of a cliff. We recommend wearing clothes that are easy to move in, as you will be climbing up a mountain road with a very steep slope. The view from the top is spectacular. However, driving on the mountain road until you reach the parking lot is scary since there are good views of Kasagataki Falls, Nishi-no-taki Falls, Shigeishi, and Shodoshima. (Original) 崖の上に本殿が建っているお寺です。 かなりキツイ傾斜の山道を鎖づたいに登るので、動きやすい格好がオススメです。 登りきった所からの見晴らしは最高です。 しかし、笠ヶ滝瀧、西の瀧、重石と小豆島の見晴らしの良い所は駐車場に到着するまでの山道の運転が怖いなぁ

(Translated by Google) Translated into English later in the text. Whenever I visit Shodoshima, I always stop by here. I recommend stopping by when you visit Shodoshima. The kids will love it, but you have to climb a steep cliff. It's just like an athletic course. First, when you visit the temple, there is a parking space at the bottom. If you park your car here and walk to the temple, you will need some physical strength. You just keep climbing up the long, steep stairs. Then you will see the bell tower. When you arrive, poke the gold. From there, it's a bit of a cliff climb. If you try your best to climb while holding on to the chains and handrails, you will arrive at the temple with a wonderful view. ❓Where is the entrance? You will go through a cave and the path will split into three. It's quite fun. I'm impressed that they have built this much for their faith. I think it will be a great experience. There is a car park halfway up the mountain, as well as a rest area and toilets. Please come and visit. Whenever I visit Shodoshima, I always come back to stop by. I hope you will stop by when you visit Shodoshima! I highly recommend it. The kids will love it, but you have to climb a steep cliff-like part. It is a true athletic experience. First, when you visit the temple, there is a parking space on the lower side. Those who park their cars here and walk to the temple need to be physically fit. A long steep stairway leads up to the temple. Then you will see the bell tower. When you arrive at the bell tower, strike gold. From there, it is a bit of a cliff climb. You will be rewarded with a wonderful view and the temple. ❓What is the entrance? You will feel like you are in a cave. The path through the cave is divided into three directions. It is quite fun. I'm impressed how they have built so much for their faith. It is a wonderful experience. There is a parking lot to park your car in the middle of the road, a rest area, restrooms, and everything else. Please visit the shrine. (Original) Translated into English later in the text. 小豆島に訪れたら必ず立ち寄りに来ます。 是非、小豆島にお越しの際には立ち寄って欲しいです お勧めします。 子供たちも必ず喜びますが、一応急な崖の様な部分を登ります。正にアスレチックの様な感じです。 まず、お寺に参拝する時に下側に駐車スペースがあります。 こちらに車を停めて徒歩で寺院まで行く方は体力が要します。長い急な階段がをひたすら上がって行きます。 そうすると鐘楼が見えて来ます。 到着したら金を突きましょう。 そこから先はちょっとした崖登りです。 鎖や、手すりにつかまりながら頑張って登ると素晴らしい景色と、寺院に到着します。 ❓、入口は？って感じになります。 洞穴を通り抜け道が3方に分かれてます。 なかなか楽しいです。 信仰のためによくぞここまで築いてきたなーって感心します。 素晴らしい経験ができると思います。 中腹に車を止める駐車場もあり、休憩所、トイレ、全てあります。是非、参拝してみてください。 Whenever I visit Shodoshima, I always come back to stop by.

Key takeaways It is an observation deck facing the Seto Inland Sea at the northern end of Shodoshima. You can occasionally see the ships heading to Himeji in the distance. There is a timetable posted on the pavilion that suggests the best timing of the sunset. A parking lot across the road and toilets are provided, which are clean, comfortable and convenient.

(Translated by Google) Visited in November 2023! You can see the Seto Inland Sea on the Okayama Prefecture side! It is a sunset spot with free parking and benches, as well as a sunset timetable! (Original) 2023年11月に訪問しました！岡山県側の瀬戸内海が良く観えます！ 無料の駐車場とベンチがあり、日の入りの時刻表も付いている夕陽スポットです！

(Translated by Google) There's parking, a viewing platform, chairs, and birds flying by... High above the sea, a sunset spot. But there was no sunset today, and it started raining. I'll head back to the hotel early for a bath. 🤭 (Original) 有停車位 有觀景平台 有坐椅 有飛鳥..... 臨海居高而建 夕陽勝地 但今天缺了夕陽 而且開始下雨 早點回酒店浸浴好了🤭

(Translated by Google) A place where time flows slowly and peacefully. I couldn't come at sunset this time, but there were benches and I could enjoy the sounds of nature—it was a truly lovely spot. Next time, I'd like to visit during sunset. (Original) ゆったりとした時間が流れる場所。 夕日の時間にはこれませんでしたが、ベンチがあって、自然の音も感じられてとても素敵な場所でした。 次回は夕日の時間に訪れたいと思います。 A place where time flows slowly and peacefully. I couldn’t come at sunset this time, but there were benches, and I could enjoy the sounds of nature—it was a truly lovely spot. Next time, I’d like to visit during sunset.

(Translated by Google) End your first day sightseeing on Shodoshima with a sunset I came here because of the name Yakatazaki Yuhi no Oka. There's nothing around me, just the mountains, the sea, the islands, and the sunset. But to just enjoy the scenery I think it's actually a good place. There's really nothing nearby, so bring food, drinks, and something to protect yourself from the wind. Especially this season is good. (Photo taken in autumn) Also, I saw the sunset The road will be dark on the way home Be careful when driving 🙇‍♂️ (Original) 小豆島観光初日は夕日で〆 屋形崎夕陽の丘というネーミングに釣られてここに来ました 周りは何もない、山と海と島と夕日だけ でも純粋に景色を味わうには 却って良いところだと思います ほんとに近くに何もないので前もって飲み物食べ物や風避けの物を持っていくと 特に今からの季節は良いかも (撮影は秋) あと、夕日を見た訳で 帰りは道が暗くなるので 運転には気をつけて🙇‍♂️

(Translated by Google) I went to Sunset Hill first thing in the morning. It was cloudy, but I could see the Seto Inland Sea and the sky, and it felt good. If I had time, I would have liked to come in the evening. I wonder if the atmosphere changes depending on the weather and time. (Original) 夕陽の丘でしたが、朝一番に行きました。曇っていましたが、瀬戸内の海と空が見渡せて気持ちよかったです。時間があれば夕方にも来てみたかったです。天候や時間によって違った雰囲気になるんだろうなぁ。

(Translated by Google) Come at a good time so as not to wait too long for the sunset. There is an exhibit nearby where you can take photos together. The lounge chairs and swings are also nice. (Original) 算好時間再來以免夕陽等太久，附近有個展品可以搭配一起拍照，躺椅跟鞦韆也不錯。

Good food superb service. I had dinner there and there were no more buses operating. Restaurant staff gave me a ride back to my hostel for the night. They really went the extra mile. Food was excellent. Best chawamushi I had.

The place is not bad, but not the best standard. There aren’t many restaurant around the area, so this place is one of the few selections. Staffs, dishes...average but not cheap.

The best cuisine of my 8 days japan trip at 2023.

Amazing, fresh seafood set lunch, highly recommend. Incredibly warm and friendly staff - when the waitress found out we were cutting it fine to get back for our ferry (we asked how to contact a taxi), she drove us back herself 11/10

Probabally the BEST Japanese restaurant in Shodoshima.

Sever was rude to kids for asking what flavour the sorbet was. Food was good.

(Translated by Google) I heard this is the place to go for Japanese food on Shodoshima, so I visited. I ordered the 8,000 yen course. It was great value, with a selection of hassun (appetizer), sashimi, soup, steamed dish, grilled dish, simmered dish, fried dish, meat, and sushi. The seasoning was also to my liking and I was satisfied. It doesn't feel like authentic Japanese cuisine, but it's easy to see why it's a popular choice on Shodoshima. (Original) 小豆島で日本料理といえばこちらと聞き訪問。 8,000円のコースをオーダー。 八寸、お造、お椀、蒸物、焼物、煮物、揚物、お肉、寿司とつくので、お値打ち。 味付けも私好みで満足。 本格的な日本料理って感じではないが、小豆島ならここというのも頷ける。

Pizzas are made by so-called artisans, so they come out authentic, and they are certainly good. However, I can't stop writing negative opinions. (1) The prices are too high. (2) Drinks are at/under the level of instant beverages. (3) The furnishings (chairs and tables) are old, small, and terrible. (4) The amount of time customers have to wait is longer than people expect.

Wonderful atmosphere and one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! The owner has a great way of making a delicious crust that is thin and airy and is very accommodating and kind. We were a tough group - no gluten and no cheese, and the two chefs made dishes especially for us. Thank you so much!

Pizza was good. Menu quite limited though and while its impressive, the fact that only one guy was seating, cooking, washing and serving meant that it was a long wait for just one good pizza.

Marvelous atmosphere for a bite of pizza. The chef has 20 yrs experience in making amazing pizzas, with his own ideology of life. And the price is very cheap.

One of the best restaurant in this island. Cozy environment and reasonable price. I will recommend to all, it’s 100% worth to spend some time to enjoy good food!

Best pizza I’ve ever had. Even beats Italy. The people are really kind: my father is gluten free and they made a special dish just for him. I 100% recommend going here

Best vegan pizza we have had in Japan!

Good selection of food. Friendly service. Prices are fair. Homely feel to the place
