Shodoshima is the second-largest island in the Seto Inland Sea. The island is known as the Mediterranean of Japan, both for its year-round temperate climate and as the birthplace of olive production in the country. Traditional food production, such as soy sauce slowly fermented in wooden barrels or sun-dried somen noodles, continues to thrive after 400 years. Cuisine using these time-tested methods is found in abundance.

Rich nature is also a feature of Shodoshima. In addition to enjoying the beach in the quiet inland sea, it has become known as one of the best climbing spots in Japan, as well as hiking in mountains with an altitude of over 800m.

The Shodoshima Tourist Association offers a variety of tours for you to enjoy Shodoshima.
