Riding across the Inland Sea

... j'ai du renfort, j'en profite, vive l'anglais!

The Shimanami Kaido is a scenic bike route (80kms) that runs across six little islands and seven bridges to link the towns of Onomichi in Honshu main island and Imabari in northwestern Shikoku main island.
The Shimanami Kaido is shared by automobiles, cyclists and pedestrians, but what makes it so pleasant on two wheels is that, whenever possible, cyclists are provided with well-designed bike paths away from car traffic.




The trip along the Shimanami Kaido is a unique way to experience the beauty and culture of the Inland Sea region and the only way to cross by bike from Shikoku to Honsu.
The views are spectacular, particularly from each of the bridges, which are built high above the water to allow ocean-going boats to pass under.
