Hidden Setouchi Coastal Ride Onomichi to Tomonoura Cycling Tour

This cycling tour explores one of the most beautiful coastal routes in the Seto Inland Sea, connecting Onomichi and the historic port town of Tomonoura. While the nearby Shimanami Kaido is famous worldwide, this route remains a hidden gem known mostly to local cyclists.

The ride follows quiet coastal roads with views of the Seto Inland Sea, passing fishing villages and rugged island scenery. Along the way, we visit local spots rarely seen by international visitors and travel beneath the impressive Utsumi Ohashi Bridge, taking two local ferries for a relaxed island-hopping experience.

Designed for travelers with limited time, this tour lets you experience a wide range of Shimanami highlights in a single day.

After reaching Tomonoura, we enjoy a local lunch before beginning the scenic ride back toward Onomichi.

This tour is ideal for riders who want to experience the Setouchi coast without the crowds, guided by a knowledgeable local.
