Setouchi Triennale 2025 Tour around Oshima, Megijima, and Ogijima (lunch included). Enjoy plenty of island time by touring the three islands! Oshima Oshima is home to the national leprosy sanatorium Oshima Seishoen. For a long time, residents were forcibly isolated due to the government's erroneous policy due to social prejudice and discrimination against leprosy. In 1996, the Leprosy Prevention Law was abolished, and in 2008, the Basic Law on Hansen's Disease Issues was enacted. Currently, the sanatorium provides assistance with daily life and medical treatment for residents, as well as educational activities to properly understand leprosy. Megijima Megijima has a unique landscape with stone walls called "Oote," which were built to protect houses from strong winter winds. At the top of Washigamine, there is the Onigashima Cave and an observation deck, from which you can see the Seto Inland Sea in 360 degrees. The beach, which overlooks Takamatsu and Yashima on the opposite shore, has good water quality
