This route is perfect for travelers staying in the Kansai (Osaka) region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Orange Ferry runs from Osaka Nanko to T\u014dyo Port. If your bike is packed in a bag, it\u2019s transported free of charge. This overnight ferry lets you rest during travel and arrive in Shikoku fresh for the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the Toyo Port, you\u2019ll ride to Imabari, enter the Shimanami Kaido and finally return to Onomichi. Returning the bike in Onomichi is easy, letting you finish your journey while soaking in the port-town atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can read more about the ferry experience and the ride from the port to the entrance of the Shimanami Kaido here: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/roadbikerentaljapan.com\/ja\/how-to-the-shimanami-kaido-from-osaka\/?srsltid=AfmBOorhP8WX_wu6AipZWBzC3qo2RtpDHnfKsx4vXrWoytwnqG24coWj\">How to get to the Shimanami Kaido from Osaka.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-finish-your-ride\"><strong>How to Finish Your Ride<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No matter where you start, the Shimanami Kaido is beautiful.<br>But starting from Onomichi gives rental riders the advantage of flexibility and pacing. You can enjoy the ride, make stops, and even shorten the route if needed\u2014making it the ideal hub for exploring this island paradise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several ways to return to Onomichi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-halfway-point-at-setoda-port\"><strong>Halfway Point at Setoda Port<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Located on Ikuchi Island, Setoda Port offers a 45 minute ferry ride back to Onomichi. Riding here allows you to experience three of the islands (Mukaishima, Innoshima, and Ikuchi Islands) and is a perfect halfway point if your time is short. Their website offers timetables and fares in English. Make sure you click on the Onomichi &#8211; Setoda Route tab. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/s-cruise.jp\/timetable-eng\/\">Ferry Service from Setoda Port<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wakka-delivery-service-nbsp\"><strong>WAKKA Delivery Service&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of having to return the bike yourself, WAKKA provides a bicycle delivery service from every island including the end point at Imabari. They\u2019ll even come and pick you up anywhere along the course and take you where you need to go. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wakka.site\/cycling_support\/bike_return\/\">Rental bicycle return service<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-train-from-imabari\"><strong>The Train from Imabari<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your plan is to complete the full route to Imabari without riding back to Onomichi, you can also use a bicycle bag to pack up your bike and take it with you on the train from Imabari Station. Road Bike Rental Japan can provide you with a bicycle bag! Ensure that you get reserved seats with the appropriate storage space (usually these are the last seats in a train car as they provide extra space behind them). Returning to Onomichi is not direct and requires multiple train transfers. The return takes roughly 4 hours.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve ever dreamed of cycling across Japan\u2019s scenic islands, the Shimanami Kaido should be at the top
