#GlobalTravel Shodoshima in Kagawa Prefecture is an island full of movie-like feeling. In addition to the famous Olive Park, this island also has a movie village. The Twenty-four Eyes Studio Park has preserved the scenes built when the movie was filmed in 1987. Even if you have never heard of this movie, But if you want to visit the old school buildings and the style of a Japanese rural town, it is well worth a visit. The film village is surrounded by the tranquil Seto Inland Sea. Inside the school building, you can admire the detailed exhibits in the classroom, including books, bicycles, blackboards, etc., while listening to the sound of the waves outside the window, which evokes a sense of nostalgia and makes you feel as if you are in a movie. 📍Address: Shodoshima

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. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

The Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Village is located in Tanaura Fishing Port on the eastern end of Shodoshima Island in Shikoku, Japan. Next to the movie village is the endless Seto Inland Sea. TV Village is the filming location for the famous Japanese movie "Twenty-Four Eyes". The big net of the film is the story that presents the side of the victims of war. Twenty-Four Eyes is the story of twelve elementary school students. So the movie used the shooting scenes and props of rural life and school in the village. The props were so realistic, and the tables and stools in the classrooms and the layout of the houses made me feel like I was really back in a small town in the remote countryside of Japan in the early Showa era. There are many check-in spots in the movie village, ranging from the church mound to Japan's famous Seto Inland Sea. The sun shines on the sea, and the sunlight reflects and sparkles. There is also a pond full of jinli in the movie village. You can buy 100yan of fish food next to it to feed them. It is very interesting. 📍 Address: Taura, Shodoshima Town, Shozu County, Kagawa Prefecture #24 pupils movie village

Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Village, about an hour from the port 931 Taura-ko, Shodoshima-cho, Shozu-gun, Kagawa 761-4424 The classroom was great, as I could study while watching the calm sea and listening to the sound of the waves. For lunch, we had a nostalgic school lunch set! The aluminum tableware, fried bread, and spork all reminded me of the old days and warmed my heart. #Kagawa #Shodoshima #Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Village

#Sign up for May Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 Looking at the movie title "Twenty-Four Eyes", do you think it is a horror movie like me? In fact, it is a story about the life of teachers and students in a rural elementary school on Shodoshima Island about a hundred years ago (Showa era). The twenty-four pupils represent the eyes of twelve students. We found this place on the bus trip to Olive Park. To go to the film village, you can take a boat or a bus, and we chose to take the boat. I bought a boat ticket at the tourist center at Olive Navi Pier (Olive Beach) and followed the instructions to the pier (just a place protruding from the sea). There were no signs, and I was wondering if I had found the right place when I saw a small boat coming towards us. It is recommended that you go there by boat. Sitting in a small boat, we sailed on the beautiful Seto Inland Sea. The sky was clear, with blue sky and white clouds (I really want to use the adjective "clean" to describe the blue sky), and the scenery was beautiful. It took less than ten minutes to arrive at the Film Village. As soon as we entered, we saw the filming location built for the movie. There were many old wooden buildings, restaurants, bookstores, souvenir shops, the Japanese Film History Museum, etc. Everyone must enter the school building to take pictures, there are many beautiful photo spots. In addition, you can see the endless sea outside the school building. There are long wooden chairs and log signs here, which are beautiful for taking photos! If you don't eat or take a lot of photos, you can finish the tour in about an hour. When you plan to go to Olive Park, you can consider coming here before or after. You will definitely be surprised! Tips for you: 1. If you want to take a boat, get off at the Olive Park entrance. The boats are not available in winter and on Wednesdays and Thursdays. It is best to check before departure. 2. When buying tickets, you will see the option of "Cape no Bunka" (Misaki Classroom). This is an abandoned school and a real filming location, and you need to buy a separate ticket. If you are not a fan of this drama, you can just visit the movie village 3. There are different bus lines in Shodoshima, and many of them are relatively sparse. It is best to ask at the front desk before departure and get the bus schedule for your destination 4. When leaving, if there is no boat, remember to ask the ticket office for the boat departure time #Shodoshima #Shodoshima Tourism #Shodoshima Travel #Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Village #Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Village #Shodoshima Olive Park #Shikoku #Shikoku Travel #Shikoku Tourism #Takamatsu #Takamatsu Tourism #Takamatsu Travel

Heading to Shodoshima This time, I chose to take a high-speed boat to Tonosho Port on Shodoshima. Departing from Takamatsu Port, the round-trip fare is about 2,600 Japanese yen, and the journey takes approximately 40 minutes. Nijushi no Hitomi Movie Village There's really a sense of traveling through time here, as if returning to the Showa era. The village has many retro buildings and scenes from the movie 'Twenty-Four Eyes', and walking here feels especially nostalgic. The weather is great, the sea view is beautiful, and standing by the sea with the wind blowing is truly enjoyable. It's worth mentioning that I took a speedboat from the pier near Olive Park, which only took ten minutes and cost 500 yen per person. The boatman waits at the pier, and the boat departs immediately after boarding, without waiting, which is very convenient. Shodoshima Olive Park This place is really great for taking photos, every corner is beautiful. Particularly interesting was a photo I took riding a magic broom, feeling like I entered the world of Harry Potter, super fun! Of course, you must try their green tea ice cream topped with a layer of olive oil, the taste is really special! The aroma of olive oil and the fresh scent of green tea blend perfectly, each bite is amazing. The park also has many olive trees and other cute facilities, the whole place is relaxing and great for taking photos and checking in. Lunch at Shodoshima Dining Hall The meal was really super sumptuous, it felt like every dish was thoughtfully prepared. There were fried tempura, various side dishes, rice balls, and a bowl of hot soup, plus my favorite soft-boiled egg. The tempura was especially crispy, and the side dishes tasted great, the whole meal was very satisfying. The food here is not only delicious but also has a local flavor, truly a must-eat meal when visiting Shodoshima. Transportation For transportation on Shodoshima, I chose to rent a Happy Bike with electric assist, which made cycling easier. This made the whole trip more free and convenient. If you don't want to cycle, you can also choose to take the bus, but the bus service is less frequent, so you need to pay a little attention to the schedule. This trip to Shodoshima not only relaxed my mood but also allowed me to enjoy lots of delicious food, truly a great experience. If you also plan to visit here, don't miss these places!

I miss traveling so much😫 The "Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Village" located in Shodoshima, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan, was a location built for filming a movie and has been preserved for tourists to visit. The film is based on the early Showa era. There are a lot of old-style buildings in the village, such as the Misaki branch classroom, Miaohe Elementary School, the art gallery Shochikuza Electric Annex, etc. You can sit in the classroom and pretend to be a student😝 The Film Village is built right by the sea, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Seto Inland Sea, as well as the flowing water under the small bridge and a sea of ​​flowers 🌹🌸🌺🌻🌼🌷. You can take as many photos as you like. #Overseas Travel #Japan #JapanTravel #Shodoshima #24 pupils movie village #
