Twenty Four Eyes Movie Studio

Twenty Four Eyes Movie Studio is a film-themed park on Shodoshima island featuring buildings from a historical period, including a wooden schoolhouse and traditional fishermen homes overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. The grounds include various areas originally used as a filming location and now give visitors a sense of how people lived in an earlier time.

The studio was founded to preserve the filming location of a classic movie spanning the 1920s through 1940s, which played an important role in Japanese cinema history. The site was chosen because it matched the original setting of the story and supported the authenticity of the production.

The place honors Japanese film history through exhibits that show how cinema evolved over decades. Visitors can see how this island became the setting for one of the country's most important film productions.

The grounds are easy to navigate and well-marked, allowing visitors to explore the various areas without difficulty. It makes sense to wear comfortable shoes since you will walk a lot, and the paths between the buildings and exhibits are spread across the site.

Within the studio grounds is a long wall area displaying photographs of renowned actors from the golden age of Japanese cinema. This gallery preserves memories of legendary performers and gives visitors insight into the careers that shaped this important film era.
