－ Attraction Introduction －

• Choshi Gorge

Choshi Gorge is a valley formed by a volcanic eruption 13 million years ago,
where you can see the largest waterfall on Shodoshima, standing 21 meters
high. Because the shape resembles sake pouring from the mouth of a sake bottle
(choshi), it was named Choshi Waterfall, which later gave the gorge its name.
Initially, there were many wild monkeys in Choshi Gorge, but during the Showa
era, artificial feeding began for research purposes, and the experiment was
successful within just three months. At that time, there were about 130
monkeys, but now as many as 500 monkeys live in this area. In addition, sweet
potatoes produced in Shodoshima have been used as food for the monkeys to this
day.

• Kankakei Gorge

Kankakei Gorge on Shodoshima, Kagawa Prefecture, is famous for its 'Twelve
Views of the Front and Eight Views of the Back.' This refers to the two hiking
trails leading from the foot of the mountain to the observation deck near the
ropeway 'Summit Station' (612 meters above sea level). The trail on the west
side is called the 'Front Trail,' and the one on the east side is called the
'Back Trail.' Along these two paths, you can enjoy twelve and eight stunning
scenic spots, respectively.

• Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Village

Stepping inside, you are greeted by the scenery of the early Showa period. The
classic film 'Twenty-Four Eyes' was set on Shodoshima. The outdoor set built
for the filming has been preserved in its original state and is open to the
public. The area features private houses, a wooden schoolhouse, and village
paths, faithfully recreating the atmosphere of the early Showa era, making you
feel as if you have traveled back in time and evoking a sense of nostalgia.
