Escape the crowds and discover a side of Hiroshima most travelers never see. Just a 40-minute scenic ferry ride from the city, Etajima Island feels like a different world—peaceful coastal roads, traditional fishing villages, olive groves, and locally run cafés overlooking the Seto Inland Sea.
This private e-bike experience lasts around 6 hours, but the cycling itself is gentle and broken up by ferry crossings, café stops, lunch, and time off the bike to enjoy the scenery. Comfortable pedal-assist e-bikes make the ride accessible for anyone with basic cycling ability.
Along the way, we stop for coffee at a seaside café, enjoy a local lunch, and visit tucked-away beaches and scenic viewpoints far from busy sightseeing routes. Guided by a local, the day offers an authentic look at everyday island life at an unhurried pace.
The tour schedule can be adjusted to combine easily with a visit to the Peace Memorial Park on the same day.
This is a private tour for your group only.
