The Setouchi Inland Sea is my favorite place in Japan.

A sea in the west side of the country with hundreds of beautiful islands waiting to be explored.

And for the next 48 hours, we're here on the second biggest of them all, Shodoshima, where they have the rarest beef in all of Japan.

And the man who's going to taste that beef.

For all the we're going to write a lot of wrongs today, I'm making it up to you.

All the things we put you through this year, this is Wacky Weekend.

Now, I don't want to imply that our occasional Wacky weekend outings have somehow frayed my relationship with Connor.

But after a few honest misunderstandings about what constitutes a luxurious sleeper train, I thought it was time to get back on my dear friend Connor's good side.

Shotoshima's location in the Seto Inland Sea is sandwiched between Okayama and Kagawa.

And its near Mediterranean like climate has meant that it's become Japan's most famous producer of olives, producing 90% of the nation's domestic olive oil.

It's these olives that are fed to cows on the island, leading to Wagyu that's revered for being both the rarest and most delicious in the country.

Coming up, we come face to face with horrific beasts and no, I'm not talking about Connor.

Surprisingly, we wander through two jaw dropping scenic sights that look like the gateways to heaven.

And we terrorize the locals in both a spectacular factory and a local bar.

Given we're here for just two days and neither of us know a single thing about Shodoshima, we've hired local guide Nahoko to help us pack in as much possible into our 48 hour trip.

And we kick things off amidst the serene green rows of olive branches as a rather curious structure looms overhead.

So if you're a fan of Studio Ghibli, you may have seen this windmill in Kiki's delivery service.

Fifty years ago, there was a tragic landslide here in this part of Shima.

And in the aftermath of that disaster, the locals wanted to do something positive.

And so they turned it into an Olive Garden theme park.

And I will say it does suddenly feel like you've been transported to the Mediterranean Sea.

Here, standing amidst hundreds of olive trees, beautiful windmill and a symbol of Shodoshima and its resilience.

If you find a heart shaped olive leaf, then it's like a lucky charm.

Do you ever just come here and walk amidst the olives?

When did it first become a place where olive oil.

Well, more than anything, I'm excited to try them for ourselves.

So here we have organic Shoroshima olives.

And you are the judge of their deliciousness.

Got a really beautiful sort of fleshy exterior.

If you're not a fan of the sourness of olives, this is like a really nice and refreshing way of subtle sort of salty, umami kind of flavor to it.

The calendar should be filling you with these.

I think I can fetch a fair price if I have a whole bag of those.

The characters that make up the word Shodoshima are literally Small Bean Island.

A very fitting name considering that during the Meiji era, the island became home to over 400 soy sauce factories.

With the perfect mix of climate, high amounts of easily accessible salt from the ocean, and

easy trade routes to places like Hiroshima and Kansai.

Shodoshima was at one time in history almost as salty as C Dog Va himself.

That's how much beer you drink in a week.

But before we head in, it's important to remove any debris and dirt from our clothes.

And some people require more decontamination than others.

It's like a dragon, which is my nickname.

Can't bring all the cat hair into the legendary soy sauce factory.
