A breathtaking journey across the sea: Exploring the Shimanami Kaido

The "Setouchi Shimanami Kaido," connecting Onomichi City in Hiroshima Prefecture to Imabari City in Ehime Prefecture, is a stunning 70-kilometer cycling route that links islands floating in the sea via bridges. As you traverse the islands while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Seto Inland Sea, it truly feels like a journey through the sky and sea. 🌉🌊

Upon visiting, you'll find well-maintained routes that even cycling beginners can enjoy with ease, along with plenty of rental bike options. The vibrant blue of the sea, the lush greenery of the islands, and the refreshing sea breeze from atop the bridges create an exhilarating sense of freedom that makes you want to take a deep breath.✨

Along the way, you'll encounter spots like Omishima and Ikuchijima, where you can enjoy art, gourmet food, and hot springs. Whether you're leisurely exploring the islands as a couple or taking a solo trip to connect with nature, both experiences promise unforgettable memories.

Access is convenient, starting from "Onomichi Port" or "Mukaishima," both near JR Onomichi Station. Rental bikes can be dropped off at various islands, offering great flexibility for day trips or overnight stays.

Why not embark on a journey to feel the wind along the Shimanami Kaido, connecting the sea, sky, and islands?
