Rest stop "Roadside Station" Shodoshima Olive Park
道の駅 小豆島オリーブ公園
The original source of Japanese olives, with a Mediterranean feel
This Greek-style park is constructed on the top of a hill overlooking the Seto Inland Sea.
The spacious grounds are planted with about 2,000 olive trees and more than 130 different types of herb. You can use these to make your own sachet and potpourri at the Herb Craft-kan. There are many other herb-related items for sale at the Herb Shop Pukoriko.
The Olive Kinenkan has a restaurant where you can enjoy dishes using olive, and there are also many herb-related items collected here – great for souvenir shopping.
There are many symbols of the friendship between Shodoshima and its Greek sister city Miros, including the Greek windmill, and the Fureai Hiroba, with its old-style Greek buildings. The natural hotspring ‘San Olive Hotspring’ is also recommended.
