Step Into the World of Film With Nostalgic Showa-Era Scenery

"Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Village", located on Shodoshima Island in Kagawa, is a facility that evokes the nostalgic Showa era. It is a theme park for Japanese film and literature, recreating the location set of the classic "Twenty-Four Eyes," once considered a national film. There are plenty of attractions, including galleries for Japanese films and art, a movie theater, souvenir shops, and the Tsuboi Sakae Literature Museum. There are also plenty of events, and in conjunction with the "Setouchi Triennale 2025," Daisuke Omi's "Yazaimon Tako" will be on display. At the cafe, it's also fun to chat over a nostalgic "School Lunch Set." The beautiful seaside view from the wooden school building makes it a must-visit.
