The iconic Olive Tree of Kankakei, a 1,000-year-old olive tree carved into a Buddha-like figure, is a must-visit attraction that attracts visitors from all over the world. The best time to visit Shodoshima is during spring, when the island is blanketed with vibrant cherry blossoms, and the weather is mild and pleasant.
