What it is
The Shimanami Kaido is a 76km cycling route that connects Japan’s main island of Honshu to the island of Shikoku, passing over six small islands of outstanding natural beauty. The route was opened in 1999 and encompasses the beautiful scenery of the Seto Inland Sea and the island’s small towns. Known as the most scenic route in Japan, the 76km trek between Imabari and Onomichi is dotted with orange orchards, classic ryokans and of course stunning views. Tiffany will ride the route with you, enhancing your technique along the way and guiding you through what many would describe as the untouched small-town Japan.
