Escape the crowds and discover a side of Hiroshima most travelers never see. Just a 40-minute ferry ride from the city, Etajima Island feels like a different world—quiet coastal roads, fishing villages, olive groves, and locally run cafés overlooking the Seto Inland Sea.
This 6.5-hour e-bike adventure takes you through laid-back island life at a relaxed pace. Stop for coffee at a seaside café, enjoy a freshly prepared local lunch, and visit tucked-away beaches ideal for photos. With comfortable e-bikes, small group size, and a knowledgeable local guide, this tour blends culture, nature, and everyday Japan far from standard sightseeing routes.
A perfect complement to the Peace Memorial Park or Miyajima, this experience is ideal for travelers who want something authentic, active, and unique—without crowds or commercial tourism.
