Olive Garden and Soy Sauce Factory

So Shodoshima is famous for two things, soy sauce and olives! The Mediterranean climate is perfect for olive growing and a visit to the Olive Garden was a fantastic opportunity to buy the coolest olive omiyage imaginable!

Not quite at the Olive Garden! This statue is second in size only to the one in Murakami. Niigata wins again!!

The Entrance to the Olive Garden! Everything has a distinctly Greek theme.

These are some recently graduated High School students we were introduced to!
