Japan's Kagawa 🌿 Shodoshima Island 🧹 discovers a dreamy paradise.

Tokyo's cherry blossoms are almost gone 🌸 Over the weekend, I quickly took my mother on a plane to Kagawa. For me this year, compared to the cherry blossoms of spring, the art islands of the Seto Inland Sea are more attractive. Haven't seen my mom for three years, want to take her for a stroll on a small island! Shodoshima is a small island that I really love. It is covered with green olive trees and is the filming location for Miyazaki's "Kiki's Delivery Service" and the anime "Takagi-san". Being there feels like walking in a fairy tale. Went to see the thousand-year-old olive tree 🫒, the green mailbox 📮, the white windmill 🤍, and the 400-year-old heritage of Yamaloku soy sauce 🧉. I also went to the super fun Monster Art Museum and the Kabuki stage in the village that was like a paradise outside the world! Inside the Monster Art Museum, in addition to traditional monster displays, there is also a modern monster design competition hosted. Currently in its sixth year, the museum showcases many well-designed modern monsters created by contemporary artists, reflecting their attitudes towards modern life. For example, there are monsters that protect the environment~ monsters that specialize in giving likes to people~ monsters that only eat people who have been staring at their phones on the subway [meow meow]~ and monsters that are silly and point the way at the entrance of the art museum! I recommend everyone to go and play~ The Kabuki stage (P1, P11) also has a history of 300 years! It is said that the villagers of Shodoshima went to travel in Osaka at that time. (🌟Osaka is a super fashion capital in their hearts) After seeing a Kabuki performance and finding it particularly exciting, we decided to put on our own in the village. The villagers worked together to build a stage for the performance, with the audience sitting on the grass and watching the Kabuki show in an old house. This tradition has been passed down from generation to generation. The next performance is said to be on May 3rd, so if you're interested, you can go and see it! My mom had a great time, so I'm happy too! Took her to my favorite little island~ Met my friends on the island and saw the island life. Thanks to my mom for taking so many beautiful photos for me, haha. Everyone, remember to spend more time with your parents on your days off, take them out to play if you have the time.
