Shodoshima Twenty-Four Eyes Movie Village is a theme park that preserves and displays the filming locations from the 1954 film "Twenty-Four Eyes." Located on a cape overlooking a beautiful inlet in the Seto Inland Sea, the setting for the story, including a schoolhouse, a fisherman's home, and a familiar restaurant, have been recreated, creating a nostalgic atmosphere that makes you feel as if you've traveled back in time. This is a recommended spot for film fans as well as anyone wanting to experience nostalgic Showa-era scenery.

The park is also home to a wide variety of film-related exhibits, including a gallery displaying film materials and the "Cinema Hermitage," which displays bromides of movie stars from the era. There's also a restaurant where you can enjoy nostalgic snacks and school lunch-inspired menus, allowing you to experience a retro atmosphere with all five senses. Taking photos while sitting at a desk in the schoolhouse with the beautiful Seto Inland Sea as a backdrop is a popular way to enjoy the park.
