About Shodoshima Island ― how to enjoy a walk
The second-largest island in the Seto Inland Sea, the birthplace of Japanese olive cultivation. Enjoy diverse sightseeing such as Angel Road, Kankakei Gorge, and soy sauce brewery tours.
35 min by jetfoil from Takamatsu Port. A rental car is essential — circle the island in half to a full day. The Kankakei Ropeway view of the Seto Inland Sea and Angel Road appearing at low tide are standard highlights.
Smoking rules and things to watch around Shodoshima Island
Tourist areas across Kagawa have widely adopted street-smoking bans, with fines for violations. Indoors, the revised Health Promotion Act mandates smoke-free environments by default; smokers must use a designated smoking room, a heated-tobacco-only room, or an outdoor designated smoking spot.
Kankakei and natural parks are entirely non-smoking and fire-prohibited (wildfire risk). Smoking only at designated areas of hotels, visitor centers, or parking. Coastal littering absolutely forbidden.
How to find smoking areas near Shodoshima Island
- Check designated smoking areas inside or in front of major stations first
- Use indoor smoking rooms in large shopping complexes, department stores, and airports — weather-proof and reliable
- Heated-tobacco-only rooms sometimes allow eating and drinking; filter by your device type
