From Hakatajima to Ohmishima. Pass the site of Japan's oldest pirate's castle on Kojo-jima island, and go to the Road Side Station "Tatara Shimanami Park" at the foot of the Tatara Bridge and see a beautiful view. After a brief stop at the Santo Murakami Memorial Museum of Calligraphy, travel up the gentle slope to Oyamazumi shrine. The national treasures on display at the treasure museum offer a spiritual respite.
Cross over the Hakata-Ohshima bridge to Hakatajima while looking down on the ruins of Noshima castle. Stop to watch the rapid tidal current of the Funaori Seto Strait. Enjoy an iconic view of Imabari City along the way. Stop at the Hakata S・C Park for some of their famous salty soft serve ice cream.
After experiencing three glorious suspension bridges, take a break at the Yoshiumi Rose Park. There is the home of the Murakami Kaizoku after cycling about for 2km. Tide Current Experience Cruise (Miyakubo) leave to play in the strong tidal current from a dock directly outside the museum.
The Ikuchijima leg of the cycling course is relatively flat, and features the mostwellknown bridge of the Shimanami Kaido, Tatara Bridge. The island features citrus groves, and historical and cultural attractions.
The Suigun Skyline is the site of a steep cycling course for advanced riders. Innoshima is full of fascinating history, including Japan's only suigun (pirate) castle, and the former home of legendary Go master Honinbo Shusaku.
The Onomichi-suido Channel is a symbol of this port town. Cross the channel by ferry and see some beautiful orchids at the Mukaishima Orchid Center and admire the beautiful view of the Seto Inland Sea from the top of Mt. Takami National Park, 283m above sea level. Cross the white suspension bridge to get to Innoshima.
A castle was said to built on this island approximately 1300 years ago. Remains of stone walls and holes for pier pilings become visible during low tide.
See the castle remains of the Noshima branch of the Murakami Kaizoku as you pass by in the Tidal Current Experience Cruise (Miyakubo).
A strong tidal current surrounds Noshima, site of one of the ancient Murakami Kaizoku castles. The tidal current reaches speeds of up to 10 knots, and the ocean flows as if it were a river.
The Murakami Kaizoku were active in the 15-16th centuries, controlling traffic and trade on the Seto Inland Sea. Visitors can try on kimono and armor for free.
The river-like current in the Funaori Seto Strait is so strong that it breaks boats, hence the "funaori" name, which means "break a boat". There's a campsite nearby.
Some people come all the way to Hakatajima just to sample this treat: soft ice cream made with Hakata salt.
Japan's largest dolphin facility where you can enjoy getting close to dolphines and whales. There are two courses: swimming and petting, to interact with dolphines and whales.
The works of Ohmishima calligraphy artist Santo Murakami are on display at this museum. Visitors can also view Murakami's collection of important calligraphy works and precious related materials.
This shrine, surrounded by a camphor tree grove, has long been a home to the god of the sea and the samurai. The treasure hall contains the largest collection of samurai armor in the country, including many designated important cultural properties.
Road Side Station “Tatara Shimanami Park” features a center selling local specialty products, a popular seafood restaurant, and a farmer's market with the beautiful sea view.
Citrus fruits grown in Setoda are harvested from November to April and made into delicious gelato.
The Innoshima Amenity Pool features waterslides, and is good for a full day of fun. Shimanami Beach is located nearby.
A hub for JR trains, highway buses, and ferries. Also has a tourist information desk (English speaking stuff on duty). Local shops and temples are just a step away.
This ferry connects Onomichi and Mukaishima in just four minutes. It crosses the narrow, river-like Onomichi-suido Channel in what is said to be the shortest ferry ride in the world.
Mukaishima's warm climate is ideal for growing delicate orchids. The restaurant makes good home-style Japanese curry.
The observatory deck offers views on all four sides, where visitors can look out over the island-dotted Seto Inland Sea to the Shikoku Mountains.
The weapons and armor used by the Murakami Suigun pirates are displayed here. The Murakami Suigun was active all around the Seto Inland Sea during 15-16th centuries. Step back to that time with a castle visit.
Honinbo Shusaku was active during the Bakumatsu era (mid-1800s). He was the strongest Go player in history. Come see Shusaku's personal effects and learn about the history and culture of the game of Go.
View the countless islands that dot the Seto Inland Sea. Inside the park is a 5m tall statue of Kukai, a promenade, and a viewing platform.
Replicas of well-known Buddhist architectural structures from the 6th century to the 19th century are replicated here. The site also features Miraishin no Oka, a garden made of white marble.
800m of white sandy beach and a seaside sports park. The beach features facilities for marine sports, camping and a restaurant. Stay around for the gorgeous red sky at sunset.
This 600m-long shopping arcade stretches from Setoda Port to the Kosanji Temple Museum. Enjoy the old-fashioned atmosphere while having a meal or shopping for souvenirs.

Wend your way through narrow maze-like streets in this nostalgic old town full of old temples and culture. Several films have been shot here, and many visitors like to retrace their favorite scenes, walking along the quaint lanes.
Imabari castle is at the center of this castle town. Towel manufacture is the main local industry.
This park spreads out along the south side of Senkoji Mountain. In spring the cherry blossoms and rhododendrons bloom, and in summer the wisteria produces beautiful purple flowers. A viewing platform at the top of the mountain offers an excellent view of the Seto Inland Sea and its many beautiful islands.
This local classic features soy sauce-flavored soup, stock made from chicken and Seto Inland Sea fish, firm, flat noodles, and a topping of pork back fat. Costs ¥500 to ¥700 per bowl.
The castle moat is unique for using water taken from the sea. The castle tower features a lookout and a display room, which features samurai armor, helmets, and swords.
Starting point of Shimanami Kaido Cycling on the Imabari side. Various types of rental bikes are available. Visitors can enjoy food at the restaurant and also stay the night here.https://www.sunrise-itoyama.jp/
Imabari is outstanding for yakitori chicken in Japan. The style of cooking it on an iron griddle is unique to this area. A popular menu item at local yakitori restaurants is a type of fried chicken called "Senzanki."Staff at the Imabari Area Tourist Information center at JR Imabari Station have information about local yakitori restaurants.

From Hakatajima to Ohmishima. Pass the site of Japan's oldest pirate's castle on Kojo-jima island, and go to the Road Side Station "Tatara Shimanami Park" at the foot of the Tatara Bridge and see a beautiful view. After a brief stop at the Santo Murakami Memorial Museum of Calligraphy, travel up the gentle slope to Oyamazumi shrine. The national treasures on display at the treasure museum offer a spiritual respite.
Cross over the Hakata-Ohshima bridge to Hakatajima while looking down on the ruins of Noshima castle. Stop to watch the rapid tidal current of the Funaori Seto Strait. Enjoy an iconic view of Imabari City along the way. Stop at the Hakata S・C Park for some of their famous salty soft serve ice cream.
After experiencing three glorious suspension bridges, take a break at the Yoshiumi Rose Park. There is the home of the Murakami Kaizoku after cycling about for 2km. Tide Current Experience Cruise (Miyakubo) leave to play in the strong tidal current from a dock directly outside the museum.
The Ikuchijima leg of the cycling course is relatively flat, and features the mostwellknown bridge of the Shimanami Kaido, Tatara Bridge. The island features citrus groves, and historical and cultural attractions.
The Suigun Skyline is the site of a steep cycling course for advanced riders. Innoshima is full of fascinating history, including Japan's only suigun (pirate) castle, and the former home of legendary Go master Honinbo Shusaku.
The Onomichi-suido Channel is a symbol of this port town. Cross the channel by ferry and see some beautiful orchids at the Mukaishima Orchid Center and admire the beautiful view of the Seto Inland Sea from the top of Mt. Takami National Park, 283m above sea level. Cross the white suspension bridge to get to Innoshima.
A castle was said to built on this island approximately 1300 years ago. Remains of stone walls and holes for pier pilings become visible during low tide.
See the castle remains of the Noshima branch of the Murakami Kaizoku as you pass by in the Tidal Current Experience Cruise (Miyakubo).
A strong tidal current surrounds Noshima, site of one of the ancient Murakami Kaizoku castles. The tidal current reaches speeds of up to 10 knots, and the ocean flows as if it were a river.
The Murakami Kaizoku were active in the 15-16th centuries, controlling traffic and trade on the Seto Inland Sea. Visitors can try on kimono and armor for free.
The river-like current in the Funaori Seto Strait is so strong that it breaks boats, hence the "funaori" name, which means "break a boat". There's a campsite nearby.
Some people come all the way to Hakatajima just to sample this treat: soft ice cream made with Hakata salt.
Japan's largest dolphin facility where you can enjoy getting close to dolphines and whales. There are two courses: swimming and petting, to interact with dolphines and whales.
The works of Ohmishima calligraphy artist Santo Murakami are on display at this museum. Visitors can also view Murakami's collection of important calligraphy works and precious related materials.
This shrine, surrounded by a camphor tree grove, has long been a home to the god of the sea and the samurai. The treasure hall contains the largest collection of samurai armor in the country, including many designated important cultural properties.
Road Side Station “Tatara Shimanami Park” features a center selling local specialty products, a popular seafood restaurant, and a farmer's market with the beautiful sea view.
Citrus fruits grown in Setoda are harvested from November to April and made into delicious gelato.
The Innoshima Amenity Pool features waterslides, and is good for a full day of fun. Shimanami Beach is located nearby.
A hub for JR trains, highway buses, and ferries. Also has a tourist information desk (English speaking stuff on duty). Local shops and temples are just a step away.
This ferry connects Onomichi and Mukaishima in just four minutes. It crosses the narrow, river-like Onomichi-suido Channel in what is said to be the shortest ferry ride in the world.
Mukaishima's warm climate is ideal for growing delicate orchids. The restaurant makes good home-style Japanese curry.
The observatory deck offers views on all four sides, where visitors can look out over the island-dotted Seto Inland Sea to the Shikoku Mountains.
The weapons and armor used by the Murakami Suigun pirates are displayed here. The Murakami Suigun was active all around the Seto Inland Sea during 15-16th centuries. Step back to that time with a castle visit.
Honinbo Shusaku was active during the Bakumatsu era (mid-1800s). He was the strongest Go player in history. Come see Shusaku's personal effects and learn about the history and culture of the game of Go.
View the countless islands that dot the Seto Inland Sea. Inside the park is a 5m tall statue of Kukai, a promenade, and a viewing platform.
Replicas of well-known Buddhist architectural structures from the 6th century to the 19th century are replicated here. The site also features Miraishin no Oka, a garden made of white marble.
800m of white sandy beach and a seaside sports park. The beach features facilities for marine sports, camping and a restaurant. Stay around for the gorgeous red sky at sunset.
This 600m-long shopping arcade stretches from Setoda Port to the Kosanji Temple Museum. Enjoy the old-fashioned atmosphere while having a meal or shopping for souvenirs.
