Onigashima Cave
The large cave where the legend of Momotaro is located is located in the center of the island, halfway up Mt. Washigamine, and is 4,000 square meters in area and 400 meters deep. Inside, the Oni's large hall, living room, and Oni Keeper's waiting room are recreated. The inside of the cave is cool even in summer, giving it a mysterious atmosphere.

Seagull Parking
As the ferry approaches Megi Port, you will see about 300 seagulls lined up on the breakwater. Like real seagulls, this object changes direction all at once when the wind blows. In other words, it is a work that visualizes the flow of the wind and the habits of a flock of seagulls. Seagulls line the breakwaters. Also, at the last art festival, a new seawall whose design was supervised by Kimura was introduced.
