About SETOUCHI ISLANDS
20 to 40 minutes from Takamatsu Port on the ferry "Meon." Megijima has the Onigashima Cave of the Momotaro legend; Ogijima has a hillside village dotted with alley art and a Meiji-era stone lighthouse still in service. The same boat links both islands 6 times a day, so you can see one island in half a day or both in a full day. Cafes and eateries are few and close for lunch breaks, so allow plenty of time.
| Access | From Takamatsu Port: Megijima 20 min, ¥370 / Ogijima 40 min, ¥510 (Meon, 6 per day) |
|---|---|
| Suggested stay | Half a day to 1 day |
| Getting around | On foot, rental bicycles (Ogijima), bus to the cave on Megijima |
