This cycling tour around the Shimanami Kaido and Yumeshima Kaido makes use of a charter boat. The Yumeshima Kaido is a route that traverses three islands: Kamijima’s Yugeshima, Sajima, and Ikina. The islands are connected by bridges, but cannot be accessed except by boat. It’s rapidly gaining popularity as a kind of “mini Shimanami” adventure. This island-hopping and cycling tour starts and ends at Imabari Port and cycles the islands by boat and by bridge from the Yumeshima Kaido (Kamijima’s Yugeshima, Sajima, and Ikina islands) to the Shimanami Kaido. Your bicycles are loaded on boat and a guide who knows everything about the islands will accompany you. Charter a boat and free yourself from the usual ferry schedules and routes. The day is yours to customize however you like! There’s no better way to experience the magic of the Seto Inland Sea by boat and by bicycle at once.
