Start and finish at the classic port town Onomichi and cycle over islands and bridges along beautiful coastline to the cute town of Setoda. This ride takes us along the blue line SHIMANAMI cycle route along beautiful coastline, across bridges and onto secret islands to finish at the port of Setoda and then return with our bicycles by ferry back to Onomichi. I have written about Onomichi and its traditional and new creative entrepreneur for AllAboutJapan. com as well as had many interesting walking and cycle tours in this area - it is always fun and there is often something new and interesting to enjoy each time. * All participants must accept responsibility to cycle at their own risk *
Meet in Onomichi (at your hotel, the main station, or at the bicycle rental shop) + Rent bicycles for the day from the main Shimanami rentals near the U2 facility in Onomichi (recommend pre-booked options) + Travel on our bicycles by short ferry to the opposite island of Mukaishima + visit a secret island with a lovely beach and shrine with Torii gate + stop for coffee/tea/snacks + visit a local organic farm + textile shop (we need to pre-arrange this so let me know if you are interested) + visit the amazing USHIO chocolate shop on the hill for some lovely sweets + make our way along the coast with stops for views, breaks and snacks as needed + finish our day of cycling at Setoda port before catching the ferry back to Onomichi (if we have time before the ferry, Setoda has a great hot sento bath, eateries, coffee and other shops to enjoy)

This is a cycling tour with a bit of walking that can be adjusted to suit your fitness level. If booked at least a month in advance, it is possible to book e-bikes from a private cycle shop in Onomichi, for shorter notice, we can go as early as we can to the public Shimanami rental shop near U2. We will take a short ferry at the beginning and a longer ferry at the end both with our bicycles. (budget 4000 yen per person for the ferries)
