2025 Ogijima Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in February)

#globaltravel Since Hong Kong has direct flights to Takamatsu, traveling to Shikoku has become more convenient, but you don’t have to worry about driving by yourself. Because even if you travel by public transportation, Kagawa Prefecture in Shikoku is also very convenient. Taking a boat out to sea every day is really the best way to relax for those who love the sea. The first stop was Ogi Island, also known as Cat Island. Located in the Seto Inland Sea between Honshu and Shikoku, there are very few residents on the island. It is said that there are less than 200 people. I stayed at Ogijima for the whole morning and saw only a few people, but I loved the leisure and the lack of crowds. There are not too many cats on the island. I met about 3-4 cats in one morning. None of them are too close to each other, but they are very cute walking around all the time. There are several cafes on the island. Although they don’t seem to be open often, there are also many delicious food in Takamatsu City. You might as well go back to the city to find delicious food! 📍Address: Ogi Island

When you come to Oshima, it is recommended to take a look and feel some. Compared to the west The expanse of Hilo is very lively. Various shops on the roadside Restaurants are all there, hiding in Akaka falls in the rainforest and Not as good as we expected, but the fresh air of nature is still very refreshing ~

I've always wanted to go island hopping in the Seto Inland Sea, so I took advantage of my trip to Takamatsu to plan a half-day itinerary. I boarded the Megijima and Ogijima route from Takamatsu Port. The islands are decorated with artworks from the Setouchi Triennale, which visitors can enjoy. The ferry ride from Takamatsu to Megijima and from Megijima to Ogijima both take about 20 minutes. Ogijima left a lasting impression on me. As soon as I arrived, I saw cats leisurely wandering around. Walking up past Toyotamahime Shrine, the alleys were filled with cats, some lounging around and others, more friendly, rubbing against visitors' legs for a pet. Remember to keep your noise down to avoid disturbing the residents. Megijima, also known as Onigashima, is themed around the Momotaro legend. The caves are decorated with demon statues and handmade monster pottery by elementary school students, linking the legend to the local culture and contributing to regional revitalization. The Setouchi Triennale, held every three years, will start again in April. Interested friends can try this route. 📍Address: https://maps.app.goo.gl/c4eGpW88GoKHYYDc8

Japan Kagawa Setouchi Art Festival: Female Wood Island This female wooden island is also known as the ghost island, mainly because of the island's particularly famous attractions, Ghost Island Grand Cave. I listened to my trembling, until I saw the first ghost looking at me with a smile, I was relieved, this "ghost" is too cute! There are a lot of artworks on the island to see, from Takamatsu by boat for an hour to go ~ and there is a male wood island to go.

Good morning, the second day of the exhibition in the Seto Inland Sea~ I dont think I will go to Naoshima, which has a big pumpkin in the haystack. In fact, I am afraid that the festival people will not choose Naoshima Toshima. There was a particularly unpopular male wooden island and female wood island, so one person contracted an island, and only the cats who jumped to the side accompanied me. Several islands in the Seto Inland Sea were particularly desolate. Young people ran to work in Osaka, Osaka, leaving only the elderly to live on the island. In order to revitalize these islands, the Japanese government invited many artists to come here to create, so it became the most literary place in Japan. A very utopian idea, the result is really successful~
