Tonosho, Port town on Shōdoshima Island, Japan

Tonoshō stretches along the western coast of Shōdoshima, the second largest island in the Seto Inland Sea, covering 74 square kilometers of land.

The town center developed during the Muromachi period between 1336 and 1573 with a complex network of streets designed for protection against invaders.

The town maintains traditional industries including the production of sesame oil, olives, and sōmen noodles, while supporting local fishing communities.

Visitors can access multiple transportation options at Tonoshō Port, which serves as the main gateway to Shōdoshima Island from mainland Japan.

During low tide, Angel Road appears as a 500-meter natural sandbar connecting Shōdoshima with several small islands near Tonoshō.
