Angel Road (Shodoshima)

エンジェルロード

Angel Road is a sandbar path on Shodoshima Island that appears and disappears with the tide. At low tide it links Bentenjima, next to Shodoshima, with small islands offshore. A local legend says that if you cross holding hands with someone special, an angel will grant your wish. Nearby shops sell wish plaques and local souvenirs such as olives and somen noodles.

Tips for Muslim visitors

  • The 500-meter sandbar appears only twice a day at low tide, and low-tide times change through the year, so check the tide timetable before you go.
  • You can walk across the sand road at low tide, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.
  • Natural sites may have few facilities. Bring water, a travel prayer mat and a qibla app, and check the weather; mountains and lakes can be much colder than the city.
  • Restrooms for wudu can be far apart on trails. Many Muslim travellers carry a small water bottle for wudu.
  • Plan your visit around prayer times. Below are today's prayer times for Kagawa and the verified places to pray nearby.
  • Food stalls and shops near popular sights usually do not have halal certification. Check the ingredients, or choose from the verified places on this site.
