Onomichi Port

Highlight • Rest Area

Right on the harbor is a large bike rental with moderate prices, so you can quickly start on the Shimanami Kaido. Since the first bridge is heavily used and the bike / footpath is very narrow, you should take the fast ferry, which costs 150 yen per person. You pay directly on the ferry.

View of the Hakata-Oshima Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Coming from Hakata, you can turn right in Omishima (main route through the interior) or left (Island Explorer, along the north coast). I definitely recommend the longer but scenic coastal route.

The blue line doesn't start until about 50 meters along. Don't be confused ;)

Caution: There's a very steep 800-meter climb (10%) in the middle of the route. You might have to push your bike for a bit. But when you finally descend and the coast appears right in front of you, the effort will have been worth it!
