Megi Island (Megijima) 女木島

There is a famous legend about a small island off the coast of Takamatsu City. Megi Island, also called "Onigashima," is said to have once been the home of demons.

Megi Island is about a 20-minute ferry ride from Takamatsu City.

It is a 5-minute walk from Takamatsu Station to Takamatsu Port. Ferries between Takamatsu and Megi Island leave every hour during the summer (August 1 through 20) and every two hours in the other seasons except summer, and it takes 20 minutes.

To get around the island, take the bus running from the ferry terminal to the caves or rent a bicycle at the port.

Start your day on Megi Island by renting a bicycle at the ferry terminal and cycling to the Onigashima Great Cave. Then, go to the observatory near the cave where you can admire the stunning views of the surrounding islands.

Before returning to the ferry terminal, spend some time on the beautiful beach with crystal clear water. You can also have lunch at a restaurant facing the beach.

Megi Island is one of the venues for the Setouchi Triennale . During the festival, Megi Island is decorated with a variety of artworks.
