Island Hopping with Cats: Megijima and Ogijima Route

I've always wanted to go island hopping in the Seto Inland Sea, so I took advantage of my trip to Takamatsu to plan a half-day itinerary. I boarded the Megijima and Ogijima route from Takamatsu Port. The islands are decorated with artworks from the Setouchi Triennale, which visitors can enjoy. The ferry ride from Takamatsu to Megijima and from Megijima to Ogijima both take about 20 minutes. Ogijima left a lasting impression on me. As soon as I arrived, I saw cats leisurely wandering around. Walking up past Toyotamahime Shrine, the alleys were filled with cats, some lounging around and others, more friendly, rubbing against visitors' legs for a pet. Remember to keep your noise down to avoid disturbing the residents. Megijima, also known as Onigashima, is themed around the Momotaro legend. The caves are decorated with demon statues and handmade monster pottery by elementary school students, linking the legend to the local culture and contributing to regional revitalization. The Setouchi Triennale, held every three years, will start again in April. Interested friends can try this route. 📍Address: https://maps.app.goo.gl/c4eGpW88GoKHYYDc8
