Bicycle Exploration of Shodoshima: A Complete One-Day Tour Guide

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!
