Three roadside stations on the Shimanami Kaido
While "roadside stations" are often thought of as places to stop by during a drive, they offer much more than that.
They have restaurants where you can easily enjoy local cuisine, shops where you can buy souvenirs that can only be found in that area, and opportunities to explore the surrounding area by renting a bicycle. They
are becoming increasingly popular not just as rest stops, but as tourist spots where you can fully enjoy the charm of the region.
We will introduce you to recommended roadside stations and other facilities that will enhance your travel experience while you are soothed by the spectacular scenery of Shimanami!
Please be sure to visit them when you come to the Shimanami Kaido.
