Driving and Cycling on the Shimanami Kaido (Shimanami Expressway)!
The Setouchi-Shimanami Kaido (Shimanami Expressway) is a 60-km long highway connecting Onomichi City in Hiroshima Prefecture and Imabari City in Ehime Prefecture. The road was planned to preserve the natural environment and avoid topographical changes as much as possible, therefore bridges of different sizes and types are built along the route. Except for the Shin-Onomichi Bridge, all bridges have paths for motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians, allowing visitors to enjoy cycling while admiring the beauty of the many islands.
