The beautiful islands and the bridges that connect them form the ocean road called the Seto Inland Shimanami Kaido.
The road stretches 60 km from Imabari, Ehime to Onomichi, Hiroshima.
The cycling road is famous for being the first in Japan that crosses a straight.
It is known as a holy place for cyclists because you can ride while seeing the scenery of the islands in the Seto Inland Sea and feeling the sea breeze.
There are other attractions and spots to experience on the Seto Inland Shimanami Kaido. Travel around the places connected to the Murakami pirates; experience firsthand the famous rapids of the Kurushima Straight, one of Japan’s top three fastest rapids; be relaxed by the scenery; and experience nature across the seasons. You can have a unique and fulfilling time in Shimanami.
