One of the most magnificent coastal scenic views in all of Japan - the Shimanami Kaido is still one of the best-kept secrets even in Japan as only a few Japanese know the Shimanami Kaido.  In this video, I will tell my story of how to get to Onomichi which is the start of the Shimanami Kaido, and then the logistics of some of the things I had to do to prepare for the ride for the next day.  If this is your first time cycling the Shimanami Kaido, then watch this video Part 1 and  then Part 2:  the actual story of riding the Shimanami Kaido and sharing my problems and mistakes:  Cycling the Shimanami Kaido - The Rea...

The entire Shimanami Kaido one-way route is 75 kilometers, crossing over six islands and six massive suspension bridges.  The last bridge before Imabari, the Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge, is the world's longest suspension bridge at four kilometers long.  If you are planning to visit Japan or presently live in Japan and enjoy cycling, the "Shimanami Kaido" is a must on your bucket list!
