More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start pedaling where salt and wind meet a narrow road, the Seto Inland Sea spreading islands like stepping-stones. The e-bike hums and lifts you up small climbs; camphor trees cast moving shade and the water dares you to slow down and look. Over six hours you trace Omishima’s southern half-circle—temples, cliffside views, museum terraces and a quietly brilliant local meal to close the day.
