On May 5, 2026, after finishing the trip to Megijima, I arrived at Ogijima.

About Ogijima

Ogijima is a small island in the Seto Inland Sea, north of Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. Adjacent to Megijima, it lies near the Bisan Seto shipping route. The island is hilly, with villages spreading layer by layer along the slopes. White-walled houses, stone steps, and the port landscape create a unique island scenery. Ogijima is known for its tranquil fishing village atmosphere, the Ogijima Lighthouse, the daily coexistence of cats and islanders, and artworks from the Setouchi Triennale. It is a small Seto Inland Sea island that combines natural beauty, everyday life, and modern art.

Getting to Ogijima

As the ferry approaches Ogijima, you can see a distant view of Torishirojima, just like in the game.

At that moment, an option appeared before my eyes:

Which option did everyone choose on their first playthrough?

Ogi Port

Shima Table (Shima Tēburu)

A local souvenir shop that displays game-related signboards year-round.

But it is only open on Saturdays and Sundays; it seems it does not open even on holidays.

Kaisei Shokudo

A diner you see right after getting off the ferry.

The walls are decorated with many game posters.

There are quite a few shops like this on the island, covered in posters.

Miki's Tower

Right next to the diner is Miki's Tower.

I want to climb up and play with the water gun too!

What does the area around the tower look like? Check out the 360-degree panorama photo!

Original game OP / Key Visual

Torishirojima Town Office

The game really faithfully recreates reality.

Here's a panorama.

Ogijima Nekopoke House

Originally called "Ogijima Nekopoke no Kai," it is a gathering place for fans of the game.

The owner is affectionately called "Toyoji" by fans, an elderly gentleman who loves the game deeply.

Wait, why is there such a delicious smell drifting in with the sea breeze!?

It's fried rice!

Today just happens to be the day when fans gather on Ogijima to hold the "Fried Rice Festival"!!

The rules are simple: everyone tries to make various fried rice on the spot, and together they vote for the best one.

The winner gets this acrylic stand of Shiroha Naruse!

Since I came for the pilgrimage, I didn't bring any ingredients, so I paid the participation fee and just ate fried rice!

The variety of fried rice was truly diverse; the rule is that any combination of ingredients plus rice fried together counts as fried rice!

Ingredients included common bacon and sausages, as well as less common sunflower seeds and salmon flakes.

There was also a master who, fearing people might get tired of fried rice, brought fresh orange juice and croissants. What was the other thing? Feel free to add in the comments.

Interior Decor

Between servings of fried rice, I asked Toyoji for permission and began to look around the interior.

It was truly a feast for the eyes.

It's full of love for the game!

Thank you, Toyoji, and everyone!

After tasting all kinds of fried rice, the event was scheduled to last until 2 PM, but I had other plans, so I had to leave early.

I wonder who ended up winning the championship!

At that moment, a veteran pilgrim offered to guide us, so together with another first-timer, we set off in a group of three to continue our pilgrimage.

Coast

Toyotamahime Shrine

Beautiful scenery of the torii gate and the sea.

We also encountered many cats inside the shrine.

Country Path

A small path you encounter on the way to the lighthouse.

It's also a place the protagonist often passes by in the game.

Ogijima Lighthouse

Ogijima Lighthouse is located at the northern tip of Ogijima in Takamatsu City, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan, facing the Bisan Seto, an important waterway of the Seto Inland Sea. Built in 1895, it is a Western-style stone lighthouse made of local granite with an unpainted exterior, standing about 14 meters tall. It still safeguards the safety of passing ships. Not only is it a testament to Japan's modern maritime development, but it also holds great cultural value due to its excellent preservation and simple, elegant design; it was designated an Important Cultural Property in 2026.

Passing through the path, we gradually saw the lighthouse in the distance!

Ogijima Lighthouse is one of the very important scenes in the game.

But unfortunately, entry inside is prohibited.

Otherwise, I would have loved to try spending the night at the lighthouse!

Pringles from Tokyo!

Panoramic views of the lighthouse from various angles.

Shiki's Memorial

Some thoughtful pilgrim had prepared rice balls.

The stone monument is on the coast behind the lighthouse.

When I played Shiki's route, I was truly震撼 by that storyline.

The sea view here is also fantastic!

Ogibito (おぎと)

Since there was still a little time before the next ferry, we decided to take a short break at this café.

The decorations in this shop are also quite extraordinary!

Another pilgrim companion curiously asked the owner.

It seems these decorations were donated by fans.

Afterwards, we all ordered a 1,000,000 yen shaved ice—no matter the color, it all tasted the same!

Farewell

Time flew by, and the moment of parting arrived.

As the ferry departed, we noticed a group of people at the port!

It was Toyoji and everyone who had joined the Fried Rice Festival!

In my history of anime pilgrimages, this was the first time I encountered such a scene, and I was truly deeply moved.

Ogijima is truly a beautiful, peaceful, and loving island. Now I understand why everyone always feels reluctant to leave after visiting.

Thank you to the veteran who guided me today, and thank you to everyone who saw me off!

Today's journey ends here. Tomorrow I will head to Naoshima to continue the anime pilgrimage for Summer Pockets REFLECTION BLUE.
