If you\u2019re planning a day ride from Onomichi, the ferry from Setoda is a convenient way to return without retracing your entire route. It allows you to spend more time exploring the islands and less time worrying about saving energy for the ride home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Take the Ferry?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>
<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When riders know they have to cycle back to Onomichi, they often turn around earlier than they would like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking the ferry from Setoda changes that. You can spend longer exploring the islands, stopping at caf\u00e9s, visiting local attractions, or simply taking your time along the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setoda itself is worth spending some time in. The town has a relaxed atmosphere, a number of caf\u00e9s and restaurants, and attractions such as Kosanji Temple and the surrounding shopping streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019re ready to head back, simply make your way to the ferry terminal and enjoy the trip back across the Seto Inland Sea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
