Discover the quiet beauty of Japan’s Seto Inland Sea on a full-day e-bike adventure along the Tobishima Kaido, a hidden coastal cycling route linking seven islands by graceful bridges. This 60–70 km ride combines stunning scenery with authentic cultural stops—ideal for active, curious travelers.
Your journey begins with a scenic train ride from Hiroshima Station to Aki-Kawajiri. From there, hop on a smooth electric-assist bike and cycle past fishing harbors, mandarin groves, and peaceful coastal roads.
Highlights include Miterai, one of Japan’s last remaining Edo-period harbors, and Sannose, a historic port once visited by Korean emissaries and the Murakami sea lords. Stop for fresh-roasted coffee by the sea, enjoy a relaxed island lunch, and take in sweeping vistas at your own pace.
E-bikes make the route comfortable while keeping a sense of adventure—Hiroshima’s most scenic island ride, far from the crowds.
