Shodoshima, the second largest island in the Seto Inland Sea, has been known for centuries for its curative properties, natural calm and semi-tropical breezes.

Long considered a place for healing and pilgrimage, Shodoshima is rich in groves of olive trees, pine forests, mountains, magnificent gorges, picturesque villages and warm water bays. The island is home to 88 Buddhist temples, some more than a millennium old.

An ideal visit to Shodoshima includes plentiful free time to enjoy your surroundings, as well as visits to nearby Shikoku Island.

This is the Japan of picture perfect villages…of serene temples and shrines…of workshops where nothing has changed in centuries...of delicious and unique cuisines. It's the Japan of your dreams.

A mere 75-minute flight from Tokyo, Shodoshima is another world. For sure, it's a Japanese world, but it's one that is rural, tranquil, calm and idyllic, far from the neon and bustle and clamor of Tokyo or Osaka. It's like stepping back in time to a more serene age.

More and more travelers are in search of genuine travel experiences that takes them beneath the surface. Which is why - whether you're contemplating your first trip to Japan, or your twenty-first don't miss Shodoshima, Japan's Island of Well-Being.
