Riding the Tobishima Kaido

After riding around several islands on the Shimanami Kaido, we took a ferry from Munakata (Omishima Island) to Okamura (Sekizen Island) in order to ride the less known Tobishima Kaido.
The Tobishima Kaido is a set of five picturesque islands connected by bridges to the mainland, Kure City which is adjacent to Hiroshima.
We really enjoyed exploring Mitarai, a small town that developed with domestic sea trade routes during the Edo Period when Japan was in “sakoku”, isolated from the rest of the world over 200 years until 1853.Meer informatie
