Very helpful, informative, friendly and available guide/receptionist in English (and other languages). We wish we could attend a performance there someday in April. Very worth the visit.

Not many art works at this museum but the building/environment is an integral part of the experience. The best is this white room where 5 Monet paintings are displayed; you put on slippers to enter. Online ticketing system restrict number of people. Was there low season (December) so didn't need to book but show up and buy a ticket. Took me under 1 hour to enjoy the three exhibits, enjoy the architecture and have a drink at the cafe.

Located in the middle of Ritsurin Park, a very authentic Japanese tea room. Open sitting area with scenic window looking over to the ponds and trees in park. Ordered Matcha with Japanese snack as compliment, the color matches Iris displayed in the room. Very pleasant tea break experience.

We so enjoyed our visit to Yamaroku Shoyu. The guide spoke English very well and was so welcoming and informative, sharing interesting information about the brewing process and the history of the business. It was fascinating to learn about this traditional shoyu brewing process and I am so pleased that we visited. While less than 1% of shoyu is brewed using these traditional practies, I am heartened to know that Yamaroku carries on this important cultural tradition. I look forward to using the shoyu I purchased.

The Marugame Genichiro-Inokuma Museum of Contemporary Art (MIMOCA) was opened in 1991 with the full cooperation of the artist Genichiro Inokuma, who was closely associated with the city of Marugame, as one of Japan's most unique "station-front museums." While honoring Inokuma's output as an artist, the museum was intended to be a convenient and open place that would be comfortable and relaxing to visit while also promoting art and culture. In addition to housing and displaying a permanent collection that contains some 20,000 of Inokuma's wo 【Notice for the temporary closure of Marugame Genichiro-Inokuma Museum of Contemporary Art due to comprehensive renovations】 We will be undertaking comprehensive renovations of MIMOCA and Marugame City Library, and they will be closed for fifteen months for construction.

Photographs don't do justice to the power of this place. Profoundly spiritual experience. The breathtaking architecture and the subtle, mesmerising art installation form such a perfect whole. We stayed for almost 90 minutes in near silence, just sitting on the floor, watching the droplets of water first form and then launch on their serendipitous journeys, watching the breeze play with a white ribbon, observing others observing the water drops, walking around the curving, circular structure and feeling very moved by it all.

Pondering what to do for a day in Takamatsu area and we stumbled upon walking around Busshozan. Bought our day pass at the Kotoden station across from the JR Clement Hotel at Takamatsu Eki. What a deal! Wandered around the town for the day. Had a nice lunch at the temple on the hill. Loved the town. But the best was for last. The onsen is a great example of the modern Japanese esthetic. Very clean building lines, beautifully designed, plain and simple. I loved the building. The baths are gorgeous. All hinoki. The three outside baths have are cool, warm and hot and are perfect for enjoying the open outdoor area with a choice of temperatures. Lived in Japan for years, have been to many onsens but this is one of my favourites. Go. You'll have a great day out!

This small village of 10,000 m2 is located approximately 700m inland from Tanoura Fishing Port on the east end of Shodo Island. The surroundings were used as an outdoor set for the filming of “Nijushi no Hitomi (Twenty-Four Eyes)” based on the book by Tsuboi Sakae, a representative author of Japan. Today, this village, overlooking the Seto Inland Sea, is often used for various projects, including TV commercials, dramas and films, and is known as a scenic filming location representing West Japan. In the village you can find a wooden school building, fishermen homes, flower fields which change with the seasons, many traditional, Japanese cultural objects, the TSUBOI SAKAE memorial museum, Japanese Cinema Gallery, “Kinema no Iori” which serves a school lunch set with old fashioned alumite tableware, and more.

Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Studio (二十四隻眼睛電影村, 二十四の瞳映画村とはalso known as Nijushi no Hitomi) is located in the south of Shodo Island, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. Shodoshima (小豆島) is the second largest island in the Seto Inland Sea (瀬戸内海). Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Studio is a historical site of the 1954 Japanese film “Nijushi no Hitomi” directed by Keisuke Kinoshita as an outdoor set for the film. It was based on the 1952 novel of the same name by Tsuboi Sakae, a renowned novelist of Japan. The name of the movie “Twenty-Four Eyes“ was chosen because the movie is the story of the teacher and her 12 students (24 eyes). The novel was released seven years after the Word War II and she described her love of the village during the war and disgust the war brought to the general public. Because of its popularity, the novel was used two times in movies, six times in TV drama and once in a TV animation. We took the ferry from Shin-Okayama Port (新岡山港) to Shodoshima Tonosho Port (小豆島 土庄港). It was a one hour and 10 minutes ride, and I went to the upper deck most of the time took lots of photos of the sea, islands and birds. After we arrived at Shodoshima, we went to the most popular tourist destination in Shodoshima - Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Studio which is 24 km (14.9 mi) by car. We came around 2:10 pm and there were not so many visitors. We got in the site and went to the most important landmark in the studio – Wooden Schoolhouse and House for the Male School Teacher. It was a mimic of the original village elementary school 700 m before arriving at the studio near the old fishing port. The original village school was used from the opening in 1902 until its closing in 1972. In the school building, we saw the equipment used at the time of movie and numerous photos displayed along with the primary schoolchild's work of the time, the student desk/chair, children's art work and the organ in the school building. Sit in the small chair and close your eyes. Feel the good old days of when we were young. Once we left the schoolhouse, there is the observation deck to take photos of the ocean with Fukube Island as a backdrop. Gallery Shochikuza Theater, Tsuboi Sakae Memorial Museum and Cinema retreat “Kinema no Iori” are also popular and worth a stop. There are other buildings inside the studio waiting you to discover. One particular and strange fish I had never seen before was the Asian sheepshead wrasse (金黃突額隆頭魚) we saw in the Shoie River inside the studio. The film" Twenty Four Eyes" was made at this location. All the sets of the movies were reserved. When you enter this studio, you are in the early Showa era (昭和時代), which is before World War II started. There are 2 types of entrance fee. Be sure to buy the package ticket which includes a visit to the original village school – Misaki-no-Bunkyojo schoolhouse (岬分校).
