The Shimanami Future Co-Creation Council, organized by Onomichi and Imabari passenger ship operators and local governments,
will carry out a demonstration project on the nine days of Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays in October 2025, with the aim of launching the Onomichi-Imabari route.
In addition, in October, a Setouchi Burari Stamp Rally will be held using the WESTER App at stores around Setoda Port, Ikuguchi Port, and Omishima
, to issue coupons that can be used at participating stores.
The Onomichi-Imabari route was abolished as a regular route in 1999, but after the Shimanami Kaido opened, it was recognized as a sacred place for cyclists, and the
number of tourists has increased. As a result, there have been a growing demand for improved routes, and the project has begun to be implemented.
