Entering the school is like being transported back to that time. The wooden window panes with the sea behind are very suitable for taking pictures There is also a screening room in the village that shows the movie Twenty-Four Pupils (the Chinese version was actually showing when I went there!) They also sell Showa-era style set meals and Shodoshima’s specialty - soy sauce ice cream. If you like to try new things, don’t miss it~ Movie Village is located at the cape of Shodoshima. It takes more than half an hour to get there by bus from Olive Park, and there are not many buses. It is recommended to check the return bus before getting off the bus so as not to wait at the bus booth. If it is the peak season, there will be a speedboat directly crossing the strait from Shoudou Port, and it will arrive in about 10 minutes 😂 #dopamine travel #100 ways to travel #小豆岛 #小豆岛観光 # Twenty-Four Eyes Film Village

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

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

At the end of the Studio Park is a clear blue sea, and next to it is an old Showa-style school. Against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, the movie sign is particularly eye-catching and quite suitable for taking photos. 📌Tips for playing: ✅If you want to know the story of the original author of Twenty-four Eyes Movie Village, it is recommended to go to the Tsuboi Sakae Literature Museum in the lower village. The three-story building displays daily necessities and manuscripts used by Tsuboi Eiichi. ✅Movie Art Wall The 54-meter art wall is impossible to ignore, projecting the century-old history of Japanese cinema on the wall. I saw many familiar faces here, such as Yamaguchi Momoe and Miura Tomokazu. ✅How can you not take some beautiful kimono photos when you come to such a Showa-style tourist attraction? Kimonos are available for rent in the Studio Park. The styles are relatively simple and cheap, only 500 yen. ✅The Misaki classroom located near the sign is so nice to take photos.

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!

Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Village in Shodoshima, Kagawa Prefecture. This is a theme park for Japanese movies and literature that renovated the location set for the movie Twenty-Four Eyes.

You can eat school lunches and buy miscellaneous goods and souvenirs. A nostalgic world surrounded by beautiful skies and seas. Why not come and visit once? - ...

A must-see for hipsters There are many scenes worth taking pictures and a location near the sea Be aware of the windy location near the seaside Bringing a hat is better basically the rate of video is very high. It is recommended to bring a film camera to shoot for more flavor Location is self-driving friendly If you take public transportation you have to go up a short distance Be careful when driving. There are small sections of road that are single-lane and have sharp turns. Be careful of oncoming traffic and drive slowly There is also an entrance fee There are small boutiques inside where you can buy small things. It's a must-visit for hipsters on a very leisurely day! #Hipster Good Place # #Film
