Explore Hiroshima’s history, culture, and scenic islands—on foot or by bike—with a guide who has lived here for more than 20 years. I grew up in the Netherlands and worked as a light engineer before discovering Hiroshima—a city whose beauty and resilience captured my heart. Since then, I’ve built a life here with my family, raising children near Peace Memorial Park and once living with a Hibakusha. These experiences give me a personal bond with Hiroshima’s story of peace and recovery. As a former educator and a student of Tea Ceremony and Ikebana, I bring a perspective that blends culture, history, and daily life. Guiding has become a natural extension of my life here, and I enjoy helping travelers experience Hiroshima and Miyajima in a way that is meaningful, authentic, and unforgettable.

An Unforgettable E‑Bike Ride Along Japan’s Coast: Bridges, Harbors, and Hidden History—Far From the Crowds.
Overview of your Hiroshima tour
Escape the city for a 60–70 km e-bike adventure along the Tobishima Kaido. Cross seven islands connected by graceful bridges, cycling past traditional fishing harbors, citrus groves, and coastal roads with endless sea views. Your day begins with a scenic train ride to Aki-Kawajiri. From there, enjoy a relaxed, electric-assist ride through timeless villages. Bicycles and helmets are pre-arranged, with a per-person rental fee added at checkout to keep the base price fair for all group sizes. Highlights include Mitarai, a beautifully preserved Edo-period town, and the historic port of Sannose. We’ll stop for coffee by the water, enjoy a local lunch, and capture photos of the hidden side of the Inland Sea. Designed for active travelers, this is a full-day journey focused on scenery and culture—far from the crowds. The pace is always adjusted to your comfort.

Transport details
Type: Private Transportation / Category: Electric Bicycle
We’ll travel together by local JR train from Hiroshima Station to Aki‑Kawajiri (about 1 hour), fully covered by the Japan Rail Pass. Without a pass, it's ¥770 one way (paid at the station). It’s a peaceful ride with countryside and seaside views, and I’ll guide you onto the right train so it’s all easy and stress-free. Our standard train departs at 9:29 AM, but an earlier 7:36 option is available if you'd like a head start (note: this one takes 30 minutes longer). For the ride, you’ll enjoy a Panasonic electric-assist bicycle—smooth, quiet, and perfect for island terrain. Two sizes are available, and helmets are provided. The rental is $40 USD per person, paid for when check out—no need to reserve in advance. These high-quality e-bikes make hills feel flat, so you can relax and enjoy the sea breeze.
