Megijima & Ogijima Islands
Megijima Island, less than four kilometers long and one kilometer wide, is a small island just off the port of Takamatsu. This island is called “Onigashima” which means ogre’s island from the popular Momotaro legend in which a small boy visited the island in order to fight its resident ogres. There is a cave where visitors will find some large cartoon ogre statues depicting scenes from the Momotaro story.
Ogijima Island, which just two kilometers long and one kilometer wide, is a brother island of the nearby Megijima Island. When you go to Megijima Island, how about visiting Ogijima too?
