With this cycling tour, you will get to discover the uniqueness of the “SETOUCHI Islands”, that got the 7th place at the must-go-destinations ranking in 2019 of the New York Times!
A friendly local guide will guide you around hidden spots that have beautiful islands scenery only known to local people. You will be able to reach these spots thanks to the electric bicycle that allows to go farther than just walking by foot.
Here are some examples of places that you can go only because it is an island and that you are riding an electrical bicycle.
*Local specialities and oysters! Oyster raft x Seto Inland Sea scenery
Hiroshima Prefecture is famous for its oyster farms. Among them, Etajima(SETOUCHI Islands) has the highest amount of oyster rafts in Japan. This spot with the calm sea and the oyster raft floating on the sea surface is a special view that can only be seen from there!
*Stroll around islands-only narrow paths that have nostalgic cityscape
Islands have only a few flat ares so the houses are built directly on the mountain-side, that creates unique cityscapes. The island's local narrow roads have not changed since a long time have a retro touch to it.
With the bikes, you can go through roads too narrow for the cars and access to hidden spots with nostalgic sceneries of the island.
*A sky road! Discover a very special road in which the superb view will make you feel like you are flying in the sky
Go through the spots on the secret sky road in which you can see the whole island. This farm road going through the island hills is so secret that only a few cars and people are taking it.
Although this road is off the main road and can not be visited by ordinary sightseeing, it is safe thanks to the local guide that will guide you around. This is a special place that you will never be able to experience at the city!
