If you come to Shodoshima, this popular spot is a must-visit. A mysterious sand road that appears twice a day at low tide. Surrounded by the sea on both sides of the sand road, it is very open and beautiful. I think it's a place where everyone from young people to families can enjoy. It is a recommended spot with good access because it is close to Tonosho Port and has a parking lot.
