What was the 4th ONSEN・ガストロノミーウォーキング in Shodoshima?
Fact: the event, officially titled 4. ONSEN・ガストロノミーウォーキング, took place on 14 March on 小豆島 (Shodoshima), in Kagawa Prefecture, inside the Seto Inland Sea.
What most people don't know is that students from Setouchi Tourism Junior College helped on the day, assisting with guidance, registration and local hospitality, according to the organiser's report.
Route, stops and island gastronomy
Anecdote: I remember walking a coastal lane on Shodoshima and smelling soy sauce and olive oil at the same time. That mix sticks with you.
For example, participants sampled regional food at multiple stops, experienced onsen facilities, and walked short sections of scenic routes that highlight the island's olive groves and seaside views. What I especially liked was the way the itinerary balanced gentle exercise with tasting sessions, so walking never felt rushed.
Local dishes you might taste
Direct address: expect to see, olive oil products and soy-sauce-flavoured dishes.
