6 Olive-Themed Things to Do in Shōdoshima Chō, Japan - AFAR
"A low-key, olive-focused park modeled on an ancient Greek village, featuring a replica Parthenon, amphitheater, and a statue of Athena alongside rows of silvery-green olive trees — including one planted by Emperor Hirohito in 1950. Visitors can learn about the island’s olive history through multimedia exhibits and information points scattered around the gardens, and there’s a highly 'grammable' photo opportunity recreating a broomstick scene from a famous animated film. The site emphasizes the island’s cultural link to Mediterranean olive tradition rather than offering amusement rides." - Laura Martin
