Spot

A small Taisho/Showa era village appeared on a 10,000 square meter plot along the coast looking out on the Seto Inland Sea about 700m south of the Taura district of Shodoshima. This is the restored on-location shooting set for the film Twenty-Four Eyes (directed by Yoshitaka Asama) starring Yuko Tanaka, so all of those famous scenes were filmed here. The wooden schoolhouse, the male teacher’s house, the fisherman’s house, the teahouse, the souvenir shop, and more...
At the Sakae Tsuboi Memorial Museum, Sake Tsuboi’s favorite furnishings during her life and original drafts of her works are on display, and Twenty-Four Eyes is continuously screened at the Shochikuza movie theater. At Kinema no Iori (Cinema Retreat), you can enjoy a gallery presenting the famous films of the Golden Age of Japanese cinema in the 1950s through images and photos, as well as a school lunch set with nostalgic old-fashioned anodized aluminum tableware.
