10 Things you should know BEFORE you Cycle the Shimanami Kaido in Japan!

Cycle the most beautiful coastal scenery route in Japan! CNN Travel wrote that this is one of the most incredible cycling routes in the world! And surprisingly, it is still the best-kept secret in Japan! Not many Japanese are familiar with the Shimanami Kaido cycling route from Onomichi, Hiroshima to Imabari, Ehime in Shikoku. In this video, I will cover 10-18 different observations and suggestions on what you should know before you attempt to cycle the Shimanami Kaido. There are a lot of TH-cam videos about cycling, vlogging, and experiencing the Shimanami Kaido, but none of them cover in detail what you should know if this is your first time cycling the Shimanami. This video tries to cover everything that I noticed and wish I knew before I started cycling the Shimanami Kaido for three days.
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!
