Angel Road (The Path of Angels) on Shodoshima is a mysterious sandy path that appears from the sea only twice a day during low tide. There is a romantic legend that "if you cross this path holding hands with a precious person, an angel will descend in the middle of the sandbar and grant your wish," attracting couples from all over the world as a Lover's Sanctuary. Since the time the path appears changes daily, checking the schedule in advance adds to the excitement. From the "Hill of Promise" observatory at the entrance, you can see the sandy path floating in the blue sea, making it a prime photo spot. This special scenery, created by the mystery of nature for a limited time, provides visitors with unforgettable emotion.
