About this experience

Our stage is Shimanami. Shimanami is a magnificent stage where everyone can spend a wonderful time. Enjoy a healthy and wonderful view on your E-bike!

What to expect

Enjoys the breath-takingly beautiful views of/from Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge and Kirosan Observatory Park. E-bike enables you to easily climb up even the steep hill irrespective of age, gender and bike experience. The Shimanami Kaido is a 70-kilometer-long expressway that spans across the Seto Inland Sea in Japan. It connects the island of Honshu to the island of Shikoku and consists of a series of bridges, tunnels, and causeways. The expressway is known for its beautiful views of the sea and the surrounding islands, and it is popular with tourists and locals alike for cycling and driving. Along the route, there are several rest stops and lookout points where visitors can take in the views and enjoy the scenery. From the main route, you can take detours through the small islands linked by the Shimanami Kaido. On the islands you’ll find shrines and temples hidden with coniferous forests, pristine beaches abutted by rocky piers, and sprawling citrus groves subsuming the hillsides. This is one of Japan’s most popular cycling routes for a reason – so if you like exploring on two wheels, don’t miss out on the Shimanami Kaido.
