This website is created by a local resident of the Shimanami Kaido, with the goal of serving as a helpful guidebook for solo travelers and cycling beginners to enjoy a safe and worry-free cycling or touring experience. I hope to share the joy and charm of exploring this beautiful route at a relaxed pace by bicycle.
