We read the scenery of the Shimanami Kaido as "Shimanami Scenes."
Ikuguchi Island
Setoda Sunset Beach
A white sandy beach of approximately 800m can be seen overlooking the shadows of Gourd Island, Omishima, Okunojima and Takanejima, and panoramas of the "Skystop Overseas Skyscrapers," the five Goliath Cranes at the Imabari Shipbuilding Hiroshima Factory, and the "Skystop Overseas Skyscrapers," the highest tower in Japan (223m) tall (223m) tower that stands above Okunojima. A dynamic and delicate harmony of the white sand beach, the beauty of the archipelago, and the beauty of the sculpture.
Ikuchi Island and Takane Island
Takane Island
Takanejima, which floats to the west of Ikuguchi Island, can be crossed by an agricultural road bridge decorated with orange yellow that straddles the Setoda waterway. The Setoda town that lies between calls, the three-story pagoda of Gotoji Temple stands on the summit of Mount Shion, and the Setoda Waterway, which is quiet with waves. As long as time allows, why not think about the good old days? Head north through the village, the island-wide museum's artwork, "The Ball-Wrapping Staff" (written by Yasuda Haruhiko), and the tower crane at the Utsumi Shipyard Setoda Factory, bring you back to the present day.
Sashima
Sashima town
Sashima is the quietest of the four islands on the Yumeshima Kaido. The island is home to the ultimate relaxing "shima-time" that flows apart from the hustle and bustle of the island.
