Introducing Shōdo-shima
Famed for its vast olive groves and as the location for the Japanese film classic Twenty-Four Eyes (Nijūshi-no hitomi), Shōdo-shima translates literally as ‘island of small beans’. A very mountainous island, it offers a number of interesting places to visit and makes an enjoyable escape from big-city Japan. The second-largest island in the Inland Sea, Shōdo-shima even has a miniature version of neighbouring Shikoku’s 88 Temple Circuit. Administratively, Shōdo-shima is part of Shikoku’s Kagawa-ken.
