#小岛 #四国 #小豆岛 Hanka Kei, located on Shodoshima Island in Kagawa Prefecture, is one of Japan's three wonders. It attracts countless tourists with its magnificent natural landscape and rich history and culture. The scenery here changes with the seasons. No matter when you visit, you can feel the infinite charm of nature. There are still direct flights from Hong Kong to Kagawa Prefecture in Shikoku, so it is very convenient to go to Shodoshima. The formation of Hanxia Creek can be traced back to volcanic activity about 13 million years ago. After a long period of crustal changes and weathering erosion, a unique landform has been formed here, with towering cliffs and strange rock groups. The fresh green in spring, the green in summer, the red leaves in autumn and the snowy scenery in winter make Hanxia Creek a tourist destination suitable for all seasons. One of the best ways to visit Hanxiaxi is to take the Hanxiaxi Cable Car. The cable car spans a canyon that is 7 kilometers wide from east to west and 4 kilometers long from north to south, allowing visitors to overlook the magnificent scenery of the entire valley from high altitude. The cabins of the cable car are equipped with large windows, allowing visitors to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. The cable car journey from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain takes about 5 minutes, but in this short time, you will experience the change of view from the valley to the top of the mountain. In addition to taking the cable car, hiking is also a great way to explore Hanxia Creek. There are many trails in Hanxia Creek. Along the way, you can enjoy the twelve scenic spots on the outside and eight scenic spots in Hanxia Creek. These scenic spots include Tongtian Temple, Hongyun Pavilion, Jinpingfeng, Laoshan Cave, etc. Each of them contains rich natural and humanistic stories. Autumn is the most beautiful season in Hanxia Creek. The entire valley is dyed fiery red with red leaves, like an oil painting. The best viewing period for red leaves is from early to late November every year. At this time, Hanxia Creek attracts a large number of tourists to watch this annual natural wonder. Whether it's the magnificent valley scenery or the changing natural scenery of the four seasons, Shodoshima Hanka Kei can make people linger. If you plan to go to Shodoshima, Kanka Kei is definitely one of the attractions you can’t miss.

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.

Shodoshima is famous for its olives! This is Olive Park, a roadside station on Shodoshima. Although it is a roadside station, it is not an ordinary roadside station. There are olive fields and a place where you can learn about the history of olives. The most famous of these is the Greek windmill! It was actually imported from Greece, and if you take a photo in front of it while straddling a broom, you will look like Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service! We couldn't take a good photo, so we didn't get a good one, but if you take a good photo, you can take a wonderful photo! The roadside station lends out brooms for free, so everyone took a broom and took photos in various places!

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

DAY 57: Remember yesterday I mentioned that the stone wall used to build Osaka Castle came from Shodoshima? Today, when I looked out from the Kankakei Observatory, I realized that Shodoshima is a very famous rock climbing site. Many rock climbing experts come here to compete and exchange ideas. Kankakei is one of the three most beautiful valleys in Japan and a famous scenic spot in the Setonaikai National Park. Here you can enjoy the fresh green of spring, the deep green of summer, the red leaves of autumn, and the snowy scenery of winter, and you can also overlook the Seto Inland Sea; the various strange rocks are also a must-see attraction. These are rocks formed by volcanic activity 13 million years ago. After years of crustal movement and weathering erosion, they have formed a geologically interesting landscape. The Shipozhi Observatory is located in the center of Shodoshima. It is the only plateau on the island, with an altitude of about 777 meters. It offers a 360-degree panoramic view with a radius of 60 kilometers. Since ancient times, it has been described as "the view of the seven cities, eighteen states, one hundred islands and six high mountains"! On clear days, you can see the Seto Inland Sea, including the Great Seto Bridge and the Onaruto Bridge that connect Honshu and Shikoku. In the Shodoshima Monkey Kingdom in the Choshi Valley, more than 500 wild monkeys live freely. The monkey group is divided into two groups, A and B, each with its own leader, and they live peacefully in their own territory. It costs ¥100 to feed the monkeys here and you have to lock yourself in a cage first. Because the monkeys here are all wild, they probably think that the people in the cage will feed them, so as soon as they see someone coming in, the monkeys start to gather around and the food in their hands will be eaten up in an instant. Finally, let me introduce the huge Guanyin statue located in the "Main Temple Shodoshima Daikannon Buddha Tooth Temple". It won the first place in the "ARC International Art Grand Prix" in France, and is therefore known as the most beautiful Guanyin statue in the world. You can pay ¥500 to enter and worship it, and at the same time climb up to the head of the Guanyin statue to enjoy the scenery.

Shodoshima Olive Park is the most representative attraction of Shodoshima. It’s also a free attraction in Shodoshima! We filmed the scene of Kiki’s Delivery Service at Shodoshima Olive Park. We jumped wildly while grabbing the magic broom and didn’t stop until we flew up~ It was so funny. It’s a memorable attraction. It’s definitely a must-see attraction in Shodoshima! The main reason to come to Shodoshima is to visit Shodoshima Olive Park. The filming studio of the movie version of "Kiki's Delivery Service" is here. Standing on the hill, feeling the breeze, close your eyes and imagine sitting on a magic broom, flying over the Seto Inland Sea. If you want to transform into Kiki's Delivery Service, you don't need to bring your own broom. The Olive Memorial Museum provides one for free! Take it by yourself, no registration required~ Return it as soon as possible after use, so that everyone can transform!! Rental time: 08:30~17:00 After borrowing the magic broom, a group of 9 people went straight to Kiki's Delivery Service to shoot the scene~ This windmill was specially built to commemorate the establishment of sister islands between Shodoshima and Milos Island in Greece!! #GlobalTravel

Kankakei is a spectacular spot that Shodoshima is proud of. The ropeway is the best way to enjoy this magnificent valley! You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the four seasons on a 5-minute aerial stroll. I visited in June, but the red and yellow-colored valley is said to be especially beautiful in the autumn foliage season, as if it were a painting✨ ⏰ Business hours 8:00-17:00 (varies depending on the season) 🚃 Access From Tonosho Port, take a local bus for about 40 minutes (get off at Kountei Station) By car, there is a parking lot (Kountei/Sancho Station) 🌿 Points of interest You can enjoy different expressions depending on the season, such as fresh green leaves in spring, refreshing blue skies in summer, autumn leaves in autumn, and snowy scenery in winter. It is especially popular during the autumn foliage season (early to mid-November)! If you go early in the morning, you can avoid the crowds 👌 #0 yen trip February 2025 #Sankakei #Shodoshima sightseeing #Ropeway #Amazing autumn leaves #Olive soft serve
