Morning photo walks with Mediterranean-style olive groves and white windmills

About this spot

A park on a hill right next to Olive Beach, embodying the birthplace of olives in Japan. Olive groves reminiscent of Mediterranean islands and white windmills line the hilltop, creating a view overlooking the Seto Inland Sea that captures the true essence of Shodoshima. The park is well-maintained and easy to walk through, with the cool morning hours being especially pleasant. Shops selling olive products and local Shodoshima specialties are available, making it perfect for a walk before heading to the sea. You can also see Olive Beach where you'll be swimming later from atop the hill, building anticipation for the day.
