Tonoshō (土庄町, Tonoshō-chō) is a town and port in Shōzu District, Kagawa, Japan, with a population of 12,915.[1] The town lies on the west coast of the island of Shōdoshima—the second-largest island in the Seto Inland Sea—and it is the main passenger access for the island.[2] First settled around the 8th century,[3] the town center grew into a complex maze of streets during the war-torn Muromachi period (1336–1573) to inhibit enemy forces.[4] The town was officially incorporated in 1898,[5] and today sesame oil, olives, sōmen noodles, fishing and tourism are important industries.[6]
