The cycle path is mostly on the car road and crosses many industrial areas. With kids it can be dangerous and mostly is not pleasant.

Absolute must do if you are in the area and my highlight of the Japan trip! For 76 km you cycle over 6 islands by means of 6 bridges. The route is easily done in one day with some breaks and sightseeing if you leave directly at 8am. We were out in the summer at 35°C and sunshine, but drank a lot. If it is a bit cooler, the track is probably very relaxed.

I’ll say right away that even if you don’t plan to cover the entire route, it’s still worth setting aside a full day for the entire event or at least starting early in the morning. My friend and I planned to go for a ride after 2 pm, and they simply didn’t give us bicycles because they warned us that we wouldn’t be able to return before dark. Therefore, all our plans were shifted, and we started only the next morning. We drove halfway through the entire journey, finishing in Setodate Setoda at the ferry terminal in Onomichi. But even so we had enough impressions. During the walk, you plunge into the life of rural Japan and see many beautiful views. Just look at the majestic bridges, which are the highlight of the entire route. Also on the way to Setodate, Setoda is a famous ice cream parlor among cyclists. I looked there. The ice cream is really soft, tasty, and there is a large selection. So I recommend taking a ride.

We researched this bicycle route after our 27 year old son and his friends rode it. They rode from Imabari to Onomichi in a day. We decided to bicycle from Onomichi to Imabari in a day. We booked our hotel in Onomichi way in advance (stayed at Hotel Cycle for 3 nights). We reserved cross bicycles through Shimanami Rental at 60 days out so we could pick up the bicycles at Onomichi and turn them in at Imabari. We picked up the bikes at 7 am and walked to the ferry with the bikes to cross the small channel to begin the route. The route is well marked with a blue line and counts down your kilometers towards Imabari. (If cycling towards Onomichi, it also has the blue line and count down.) You still have to pay attention so you do not miss any turns. The switchback paved trails to get up to the bridges are not easy, but not too difficult if you are in shape. We did not have any trouble with the inclines to the bridges. Plus, you knew you were riding downhill after crossing the bridge. There was one long stretch of highway that was a long slow incline that was not too fun. The Shimanami Kaido is 46 miles and we finished in one day. It took us 8 1/2 hours with all of our stops for water, food, photos, and taking in the scenery.
Note: about half way, there is a large bicycle sanctuary which looks like a great place to get some food and rest - wrong. It had nothing to offer except water from a vending machine and a place that sold fried foods. We took some snacks with us, but there are lots of convenience stores along the way. We wish we would not have wasted our time stopping at this so called bicycle sanctuary.
We were worried about completing the route in one day before the bicycle rental return closed. By starting at 7:30 am, we finished at 4 pm. After crossing the last bridge into Imabari, the blue line continues for about 5 miles to the Imabari bus station in town where the Shimanami Rental return was located. After turning in our bikes, we were able to catch the Shimanami express bus back to Onomichi where we were staying. The bus ride was about 90 minutes and included a transfer to another bus along the way. We are very thankful to the young Japanese couple who helped us navigate the bus schedule. When you get on the bus, you take a ticket and pay when you get off. It is important to have Yen with you along the route since some places may not take credit cards. Also, it is very helpful to learn some Japanese since many people do not speak English in these smaller towns. Everyone we met along the route were incredible nice and friendly! We loved the experience of bicycling through the Japanese islands on this incredible route! The route goes across six magnificent bridges and you are either riding across it on a path safely beside the cars or on a path directly under the bridge with cars above you. We wish we would have spent a little more time enjoying the beautiful scenery and we wish we would have spent an extra day in Onomichi to explore the area.

Researching about cycling tourism and riding in Japan and Chilean Patagonia, I have found that this route one of the most developed route among the others official National Cycle Route of Japan. To begin with the infrastructure; the designated cycling lanes and of course the exclusive path that cyclists have over the 6 bridges along the Shimanamikaido is fantastic. The blue line as well as carefully selected sings and sing-posting guide you and make you feel safe riding through beautiful seaside landscape and townscape mixing with view point with panoramic vistas and art and culture represented by shrines, temples, sculptures, museums and local handicraft.
This extraordinary experience invite you to not only enjoy the ride, but also feel that you are really contributing to community development in rural areas in some remote towns of Japan. The community and people who run the local hospitality services are doing great efforts to provide high and adjusted bike friendly quality facilities and services such as: bike terminals with rent a bike, mechanic, parking and rest areas as well as information and maps combining with some technology App for cyclists. In some bike hostel you can even sleep with your bike inside your room ;)
Remember cycling tourism is also part of sustainable and slow type of tourism, that can really connect through encounters with places, people and activities with the destinations to shape a beautiful and transformational experience for individuals.
Don't forget to stop by observation decks (Hanaguri) shrines, temples (Kousanji & Hill of Hope), Castles (Imabari), Onsen (Shimanami Dome), become and "Island explorer" going in some back roads and climb some challenging summit with great views (Kirosan Park), try local food and much more!

Wow, what a place. Stunning forested islands with the impressive white bridges separating them. It’s a mix of countryside and town so isn’t all scenic but the majority of it is stunning.
Bridges are quite high, a bit scary for a vertigo sufferer but probably fine for most people. The roads are pretty quiet and tbh most people cycle on the footpaths so you don’t have to be with the traffic.
We had trouble working out how to reserve online. So our plan B was to hire bikes on the day. It was fine, the bikes were okay, not great but did the job - do check your brakes and gears before you start the ride. We started at onomichi by the train station. You have to get a 100 yen ferry at the start to cross to the start on the mukaishima island. You are given a detailed map but the blue painted lines keep you on course.
In one day, we made it to Ikuchi island. We had some time so decided to do anti-clockwise lap of the island before finishing in Setoda, convenient as you can drop off bikes, get the ferry back to onomichi and it has the amazing kousanji temple, 1000 Buddhas cave and the hill of hope. Finished about 5pm and sunset in setoda and kousanji was stunning !

We had one of the best times ever, cycling the Shimanami Kaido from Onomichi to Imabari over five days, and then returning to Onomichi in one day. The bridges are architectural works of art, and the natural scenery- of the Seto Inland Sea and islands and hills were amazing. On sunny days and on overcast drizzling days, the views were so beautiful. We had some great stays at a variety of accommodations en route, together with amazing meals.
The cycling is varied- from a few busy suburban roads, to dedicated bike paths, and from flat bridge paths and coastal roads, to steepish inclines (up to 3%) up to bridge level. The Shimanami Kaido is marked by a blue line through it's length, but the blue line also marks some other paths around the various islands, and it's easy to miss the turn-off up to a bridge. It pays to study the map and get a feeling for the layout of the islands and where the bridges are and then the details of where the cycle paths and the blue lines are. The cycling surface is paved all the way- no gravel or dirt.
There are many places to stop for snacks, coffee, ice cream etc- and plenty of toilet stops along the course. Most of these stops have souvenir shops attached or adjacent. There are also some really good photo spots designed to allow for great pictures of the bridges.
Cycling back 75km from Imabari to Onomichi, took me 5 hours. Fit cyclists would do it in half that time. The main difficulties are the ramps and roads ascending up to the bridges. Some of these inclines last for 2 km or more and you need to be fit, other wise you will want to get off your bike and walk up.
Overall it was a great ride, and I will do it again if I have the chance.

My wife and I are looking to travel to Japan in April next year and cycle the Shimanami Kaido over two days.
My wife my be slightly pregnant and would like to rent some E-Bikes.
Looking at the guide on japan-guide,
It details the Regular rental system and the Giant rental system.
Both claim to have E-Bikes but when I look closer, it not that simple.
Regular rental system's bikes need to be returned to the same terminal in Onomichi.
And Giant rental system's system doesn't seem to have any E-Bikes at all. When searching any E-Bikes, on any dates. There are no bikes.
Is there something I'm missing? Or are we out of options?
Any help would be really appreciated.
