Shodoshima Olive Park

All manner of olives! From all over the world. This place is large so you need time to really explore. Lots of trees, there's a playground in one corner, the windmill for taking pictures, and other Greek-inspired structures. We visited in November so it was cool but very sunny. I brought an umbrella. I can't imagine what it's like in summer

Olive tree in Shodoshima!! Olive trees were planted in 1996 n they hv cultivated olive oil n made into products here. There is a shop which sells olive oil products & other Shodoshima's popular items like Shoyu, Somen noodles. Free rental of brooms for amazing photos beside the windmill on this tourist spot on. How about getting an Olive ice cream here ? 😋

tbh it’s frustrating to walk uphill under scorching sun, from the bus stop. it’s a nice olive park tho, big square with art installations and the windmill that everyone is crazy about. big souvenir shop, resto and stuff, even a shrine!! also a tiny museum and noodles place along the road. i spent 3hrs there, but i think most people left faster than i did. once is enough for me; i won’t go again if no one drives me uphill.

You can borrow the broom for free to pretend to be Kiki in Ghibli Kiki's Delivery Service~ Please also go to lookout~

I strongly recommend driving on Shodosbima because the island is big and it will waste much time if you take public transport. This park is good. It’s free of charge and there are many olive trees. You could pick leaves and make bookmarks using the leaves at the souvenir shop. People could find the heart-shaped leaves but I couldn’t :( You could take an instagrammable pictures with a broom provided by the park near the windmill. There is a restaurant on the second floor of the building. The food was fine.

The Olive Garden consists of multiple Greek style structures, like the iconic windmill and the herb garden. It was fun to look for heart shaped olive leaves

If you like studio ghibli then it’s a must go. The windmill is the highlight of the place. So many people taking photo there. After parking you need to go to the museum, they have a wall where they hang the famous Kiki broom. But sometime you need to wait since many took it for photo. After taking the break you can then head to the windmill. The olive oil ice cream was good also specially after all the jumping 😆😆😆.

Not only famous for the olive, but also with a fabulous scenery!
