Angel Road is a sand path on Shodoshima Island, Kagawa Prefecture, that appears only at low tide. This mysterious phenomenon has led to the belief that if you cross it hand-in-hand with a loved one, your wish will come true. Climbing Bentenjima Island before crossing the path leads you to the "Promise Hill Observatory," where you can ring a bell of happiness with Angel Road as your backdrop. Recently, it has become increasingly popular, frequently featured in movies and dramas, attracting many visitors. Angel Road is a collective name for four small islands connected at low tide (Bentenjima - Nakayoshima - Koyoshima - Oyoshima), collectively called "Yoshima." Whether bathed in the powerful morning sun or the gentle evening glow, the path appearing and disappearing with the tide offers a mystical and beautiful sight at any time of day. Angel Road is a beloved spot for couples, a sacred place for lovers. Why not cross Angel Road hand-in-hand with your loved one and make a wish?
