Experience the "Best Seats" of Shimanami Kaido on a 1-Day Brompton Adventure Shimanami Kaido is world-renowned as a "Cyclist’s Sanctuary," and we’ve curated the ultimate "best of" route designed for everyone—even if you don't regularly cycle. Our journey begins with a scenic 40-minute ferry ride from Onomichi Port to Setoda. From there, we enjoy a one-way cycling tour to the historic Oyamazumi Shrine and breathtaking viewpoints overlooking the pristine Seto Inland Sea. After reaching the goal, simply fold up your Brompton bike and relax—we’ll whisk you back to your accommodation by car, leaving you with nothing but a sense of accomplishment. But the true highlight isn't just the ride; it’s the stories you won’t find in guidebooks. Discover the secrets of the "Island of Gods," explore port towns that flourished in the Edo period, and learn about the monumental national bridge projects. Through these hidden narratives, we deliver the authentic spirit and culture of the Shimanami islands.
