[Main Part]

This is the final article about Shodoshima Island and a series of the travel to Ehime and Kagawa Prefecture. In addition to Nijushi no Hitomi Movie Village, Shodoshima Olive Park and Angel Road, I visited several places in Shodoshima Island.

Meiro no machi (Maze Town)

This area hae been called “Meiro no machi (Maze Town)” for many years. This is because alleys were made complicated to protect buildings from sea window. In addition, there were a lot of funny art works along the street.

Hosai Ozaki Memorial Museum

Hosai Ozaki is a Japanese poet of the late Meiji and Taisho periods of Japan. He spent his last years in Shodoshima Island.

Saikoji Temple

In Meiro no machi (Maze Town), there is a temple named “Saikoji”.

Dofuchi Strait

The final destination in Shodoshima Island was Dofuchi Strait. This place is recognized in the Guinness Book of Records as the narrowest strait in the world – the narrowest past is 9.93 meter in width.

Return home

I left Shodishima Inland and moved to Takamatsu Port.

At Takamatsu Port with the art work of “Liminal Air-core-“.

I moved to Takamatsu Airport and then returned to Tokyo.
