Megijima

20 mins from Takamatsu Port. (-)The ferry frequency needs to be improved. It is too limited. The island needs more restaurants, cafes and shops. (+)Very good place to visit as its very near. Not many places to visit but just walking island is already relaxing and enjoyable.

I visited here to see Setouchi Triennale 2022. A very small island to see around. I had little bit difficulty to find dining.

small but cute

This island houses a mountain that is rather high. YES RATHER HIGH. I warned you. Do NOT rent a bicycle; you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT ride it up to the top, you may be able to drag it up and then ride it on your way down, but the scenery is great so you might as well enjoy your walk if you are a tourist(and went through all the trouble to come here AND climb the mountain). Alternatively you could get a motorcycle if you live in Takamatsu and come here from time to time for a picnic. But for that the island is a bit small. This is the famous site of the Momotaro legend of Japan and on the top there is the cave of the Oni. Not exactly an attraction but might help you enjoy the island... in summer, especially. It's really cool in the cave(I think it's air conditioned).

Was a great day our walking around the island and the people are so friendly.

unforgetable moment with sakura.. i probably back again in the same season!!!

男木島とセットで巡られがちですが、１日かけて廻ったっていい島です。とってもきれいなビーチもあります。洞窟以外は徒歩で巡れます。洞窟が、バスに乗ったりして時間をどうしても食うのです。島のメイン的な扱いを受けていますが、正直洞窟は行かなくてよくて、その分の時間を集落周辺にかけていいと思うんですよねえ。

1日中いられる島。すごくアグレッシブに旅がしたい人におすすめです。 午前中はビーチで海水浴及びシュノーケリング、午後は山登り、いい運動にもなるし、セロトニンが体内からいっぱい分泌するくらい元気になれます。 島民暮らしの方々や文化も街歩きの中にあるし、 面白いです。歩いて鬼の洞窟や展望デッキ、日蓮宗の像に到達した時の達成感はなんとも言えないほど快感です。平日は観光客も少なく過ごしやすいが、海沿いカフェのほとんどが営業していないので、アグレッシブに行動したい人は平日、食べ歩きや雰囲気を味わいたい人は土日に行くといいです！ 高松港から往復740円です。
