Seto Inland Sea Bike Tour

DAY 53:
Today we set off from the guesthouse on Ikuchi Island, passing through Omishima, Hakata Island and Oshima, and finally passing the Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge, a magnificent bridge symbolizing the Shimanami Kaido. It was opened in 1999 and is connected by three bridges. It is about 4 kilometers long and is the world's first three-link suspension bridge. The Kameroyama Observatory Park on Oshima (301 meters above sea level) is one of the best viewing spots on the Shimanami Kaido. You can enjoy the magnificent view of this magnificent bridge crossing the Kurushima Strait. It is worth visiting. On May 3, I took a ferry from Takamatsu to Kobe Port. After 20 days, I returned to Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture, Shikoku. This "Seto Inland Sea Cycling Tour" came to a successful conclusion. Thank you to Master Kobo for accompanying me all the way. The Shimanami Kaido is also the most relaxing and pleasant journey I feel during my bicycle trip in the Seto Inland Sea. The warm sunshine is matched with the sea breeze, the well-planned bicycle paths, and there are amazing views at every corner. If there is a chance, I would like to take my wife to revisit this beautiful Shimanami Kaido together...
