Megijima is small, but it is filled with tons of activities to do, making it the perfect day trip. The island is only a short 20-minute ferry ride from Takamatsu, Kagawa’s lively port city. Part of the legend Momotaro takes place on Megijima, also known as Onigashima (Ogre Island) in the story. The boy from the story fights the ogres that reside on this island and the peak of Megijima houses a cave that legend says is the ogres’ fortress. Visitors who visit the cave can expect to see statues of ogres from the Momotaro story.
Get a beautiful 360-degree view on top of the island at the mountaintop park. Visitors who come during the spring have an opportunity to see the bright pink cherry blossoms surrounding the park. Climb down the mountain during lunchtime and enjoy a meal at one of the beachside restaurants. You can also bring your own picnic items and sit on the sand and enjoy the clear blue waters. Biking along the beach is also a popular activity and a quick way to move around the island.

目歧岛虽小，但活动丰富，是一日游的绝佳去处。从香川热闹的港口城市高松乘坐渡轮到目岛只需 20 分钟。桃太郎》传说的一部分就发生在目岛上，故事中的目岛也被称为鬼岛（食人魔岛）。故事中的男孩与居住在岛上的食人魔战斗，而目岛的山顶上有一个洞穴，传说是食人魔的堡垒。游客在洞穴中可以看到桃太郎故事中的食人魔雕像。
在山顶公园，您可以 360 度观赏岛顶美景。春天来的游客有机会看到公园周围鲜艳的粉色樱花。午餐时间爬下山，在海滨餐厅享用美食。您还可以自带野餐用品，坐在沙滩上享受清澈湛蓝的海水。沿着海滩骑自行车也是一项很受欢迎的活动，也是在岛上快速游览的一种方式。

若想欣赏美丽的海滩和洞穴，可前往日本桃太郎传说中的 "食人魔岛"--目地岛。浏览附近的餐厅和美食体验！

Megijima

Located on Japan’s Shikoku Island, Kagawa is the smallest of the 47 prefectures, which once went by the name “Sanuki.” A nod to its former name, the classic dish this prefecture is famous for is called “Sanuki udon.” It is the most classic type of Japanese udon, which is ubiquitous across Japan, recognizable by its squared-off shape and characteristically chewy texture. Other famous products from Kagawa include Kagawa olives, “honetsukidori” bone-in chicken, somen noodles, and traditional “wasanbon” sweets.

Kagawa’s capital city, Takamatsu, is a port city that’s home to Takamatsu Castle and one of Japan’s most stunning traditional gardens, Ritsurin Koen. A cultural asset that was built in the Edo period, the gardens have been maintained for about 400 years and earned three stars in the Michelin Green Guide. The sprawling gardens feature a teahouse overlooking the pond, Sanuki Folkcraft Museum, and well-kept landscape of pine trees. The biggest city in Shikoku, Takamatsu hosts the Sanuki Takamatsu Festival in August.

Located just a one-hour ferry ride away from Takamatsu Port, art lovers should explore Naoshima Island, in the Seto Inland Sea. Upon alighting from the ferry, visitors will see Yayoi Kusama’s iconic “Red Pumpkin” sculpture, one of the many art installations of the island. Visit Benesse House Museum for contemporary art and architecture, including the Chichihu Art Museum which was built mainly underground so as not to disrupt the beauty of Naoshima’s natural landscape.

Shodoshima, another of Kagawa’s famous islands, is known for “Angel Road,” a sandbar that emerges when the tide is low, and the breathtaking Kankakei Gorge, especially stunning during autumn. Shodoshima is also an area where traditional Japanese food culture is kept alive, such as at Hishio no Sato, the Soy Sauce Village, which has been producing shoyu for over 400 years.

香川县位于日本四国岛，是 47 个县中最小的一个，曾用名 "赞岐"。赞岐乌冬面是该县的经典名菜，也是对其旧名的一种纪念。它是日本乌冬面中最经典的一种，在日本随处可见，其形状方正，口感有嚼劲。香川的其他名产还包括香川橄榄、"本月鸡 "带骨鸡、素面和传统甜点 "wasanbon"。

香川县的首府高松市是一座港口城市，这里有高松城和日本最迷人的传统庭园之一--立林园。作为建于江户时代的文化遗产，这座花园已有约 400 年的历史，并获得了《米其林绿色指南》的三颗星。在占地广阔的庭园中，您可以眺望池塘边的茶馆、赞岐民俗工艺馆以及松树林立的景观。高松市是四国最大的城市，每年八月会举办赞岐高松节。

从高松港乘坐一小时的渡轮即可到达濑户内海中的直岛，艺术爱好者可前往一探究竟。下了渡轮，游客就会看到草间弥生的标志性雕塑 "红色南瓜"，这是岛上众多艺术装置之一。参观贝内塞之家博物馆（Benesse House Museum），欣赏当代艺术和建筑，包括秩父美术馆（Chichihu Art Museum），该美术馆主要建在地下，以免破坏直岛美丽的自然景观。

香川县的另一个著名岛屿--小豆岛，以退潮时出现的沙洲 "天使之路 "和令人叹为观止的勘察溪谷而闻名，尤其是秋季的勘察溪谷更是美不胜收。此外，调度岛还是日本传统饮食文化的发祥地，如拥有 400 多年酱油生产历史的 "菱之里"（Hishio no Sato）酱油村。

浏览香川县的烹饪课程、品尝会、餐饮体验和美食之旅，这里是直岛艺术岛、立命馆公园和赞岐乌冬面的故乡。

NOT SURE WHERE TO GO?

The archipelago of Japan consists of four main islands, eight regions of Japan, and a total of 47 prefectures between them, each with their own diverse traditions, culture, food, and history. Hokkaido is the main northern island, followed by Honshu (home to Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, and Chugoku), Shikoku, Kyushu, and the Okinawa islands to the southwest.

Discover the unique offerings of each region by checking out the Japan areas above, like the coastal prefecture of Shizuoka (home to hot springs, Mt. Fuji, and a booming agricultural industry) and Nara Prefecture (which boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites). While Japan might be perceived as a tiny country (the archipelago is smaller than the state of California), the nation is diverse in climate and culture. Each area of Japan has its own staple produce and regional Japanese cuisine.

Not only can you explore the popular destinations of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, but there are also a variety of other areas in Japan ranging from adventurous spots for daredevils to super-rural areas where visitors can connect with the land and people. From climbing Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka to indulging in matcha tea in Uji to enjoying island life in Okinawa (considered to be Japan’s Hawaii), these Japan areas each offer diverse experiences and ample opportunity for exploration. To make your Japan travel planning a little easier, browse these area pages where you can discover Japan tourist attractions, Japanese food experiences, and more!

Delve into Japanese food culture, discovering the distinctive and diverse range of Japanese dishes which are sometimes sophisticated, sometimes hearty and comforting, but always delicious. These Japanese foods offer a window into the world of “washoku” (Japanese cuisine), which made UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2013.	


There’s worldwide appreciation for Japanese food, with Tokyo boasting the world’s highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants for the 12th year in a row in 2019. Not only is Japan home to some of the best chefs and restaurants in the world, but the Japanese cuisine (“washoku”) is also celebrated as one of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritages. The main staples of Japanese food include rice (in various forms from steamed white rice to mochi), soy products (tofu, soy sauce, miso soup, natto), fish (sashimi, bonito flakes, grilled salmon), seaweed (kombu, nori, wakame), noodles (soba, udon, ramen), and tsukemono (Japanese pickles). Different regions of Japan also have their own specialty foods. Osaka, considered “The Nation’s Kitchen” is the birthplace of takoyaki, Kyoto is famous for tofu and yuba, and Okinawa is known for goya champuru (bittermelon stir fry). Many regions in Japan have their own special twists on dishes like Japanese ramen, nabe (hot pot), and ozoni (mochi soup eaten on New Year’s Day). Explore the Japanese foods above and learn about the diversity of Japanese cuisine, then perhaps you can join a food experience and learn to make Japanese food during a cooking class, become an expert on Japanese sake or tea during a tasting experience, or discover your new favorite type of ramen during a ramen tour. The landscape of Japanese food is evolving, so eating in Japan is always an adventure, with restaurants and chefs riffing on traditional and modern foods, Eastern and Western cooking styles and flavors, and creating inventive eats like chocolate ramen, matcha beer, or ridiculously pillowy Japanese pancakes. Discover your new favorite Japanese food here on byFood and delve deeper into Japanese food culture.
