All Reviews of Megijima

Megijima is said to be the setting for Onigashima in the legend of Momotaro. You can take the “Onigashima Great Cave Bus” to the cave at the top of the mountain and search for traces of Momotaro and the demon generals. Before leaving, I also recommend buying a bag of Onigashima Great Cave rice crackers at the ticket counter as a special souvenir. The island also has quite a few works from the Setouchi Triennale, making it a great place to slow down and enjoy the scenery and artwork while taking a walk.

The famous Ogre Cave feels like exploring a mini maze, which was pretty fun. The whole island isn’t overly commercialized, and it doesn’t get too crowded. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to escape the city for a half-day or full-day trip. After walking around, you really feel refreshed.
