Nijushi no Hitomi Movie Village



Nijushi no Hitomi or Twenty-Four Eyes is a 1954 movie filmed on Shodoshima island in Kagawa prefecture that follows the lives of a school teacher and her first class of students as they grow up on the island during the rise of Japanese nationalism in the leadup to World War two.






After the shooting of a color remake in 1987, the movie location used for the filming was opened to the public as the Nijushi no Hitomi Eigamura movie village.





The movie set consists of an entire reconstructed village, including a school building, over a dozen homes, a shrine, a canal and a few fields. Visitors can enter all the buildings, some of which were transformed into restaurants, shops and small museums.



The village offers a nostalgic atmosphere of past decades, and is pleasant to explore even by those who have not seen the movie.
