Wow, the lady is sooooo nice in her pursuit to try to find a place for you to stay the night. The kind of hospitality that you'd only find in Japan I guess! Can't wait for the next episode!
You can probably finish riding through all 6 islands at a reasonable pace if you start at dawn. I dont understand why you would ride into the night at a later hour, and not book ahead a place to stay. This was poor planning. Could be dangerous. Just saying. Now I have to watch the 2nd part lol
I cycled from Onomichi to Imabari in one day last year. Even an experienced cyclist would take 8 hours to do that and I'm not a fit person so it took me 11 hours to complete, including 1.5 hour *not wasted* because I went to a wrong way but man the view was so beautiful! And no, you really can't do that in one day with that "basket bike". You need a bike with gearboxes and stuff. Here are some tips if anyone want to try it as an visitor: - Schedule at least 2 days so you may fully enjoy the trip. You can book accommodation on one of the islands - Don't bring extra stuff with you. There are luggage forward service near Onomichi station. Or you can send your luggage through Yamato Transport "Black cat" express to your next stop with reasonable price. - Don't need to worry about food and water. There are unlimited amount of vending machines, convenience stores, and restaurants along the way. - Don't push yourself too hard early in the trip. The accenting to bridges between islands are really loooong and you will do that each and every islands so take your time. - Not every island has beautiful view some of them looks like beaten up town. Don't worry about it just follow the blue strip on the road. - Near the end there is a really nice "surprise" decenting. I'm not going spoil it and I'm sure Angela will show it on the next video. That's all folks! You really should try Shimanami Kaido at least once if you like traveling. It's a very unique experience and I highly recommend it.
The old lady at the end is one of the things I love about Japan-complete strangers can be so kind and go out of their way to help people they don’t know.
Happy Friday!! How has everyone beeeeen?? Forgive me for the late uploads recently!! Will be back on track from now 🤞🏼🤞🏼 But... more importantly, what do you think happens next...??? 😏
Given how nice the old lady is maybe she lets you guys stay at her place :D? Great video as always! Also saw that you are going to Kanazawa? I´m studying there at the moment ^-^ Would be nice if there was a fan meetup !
That helpful lady is heaven sent. And the best part is... that's common in Japan. Japanese people are naturally polite, disciplined, warm, and super helpful. The go-out-of-their-way helpful. That, and their beautiful country makes keep coming back to Japan.
Yay! A new video! I watch your stuff religiously. It's helped my fiancé and I make the decision to move to Japan and your videos have been a great help in helping us learn about the country and prepare ourselves
Really awesome to hear that! Just dive into the culture and be open to learning new things and I'm sure you will have a great experience living here 😀 Who knows, we might even bump into each other in Japan some day! Best of luck to you and your fiancé, Josh :)
I saw this video before my trip to Japan. And as soon as I saw I knew I had to do it. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO. Cycling the Shimanami Kaido was a life changing experience. I did this by myself and taught me so much! I’ll forever cherish these moments forever 💖
Did this last year in spring. Only went for a one-day ride and managed about 30 km (with plenty of stops to enjoy the amazing sights) and it was hands down my favourite part of the whole trip to Japan. One warning though for anyone thinking about doing this. I went in March so I didn't think sunburn would become an issue, especially seeing as I was wearing a long sleeve sweater (weather was fairly cold) and a helmet that shielded my face from the sun. Completely forgot about my hands however! After 8 hours more or less straight sunlight I had the WORST sunburn which turned into painful blisters the next day >.< Let my mistake be a lesson to y'all.
Ooh... A cliffhanger ending - now I can't wait for the next episode! But seriously, that lady was so nice and helpful. She went above and beyond to help!
Oh it's so close to rabbit Island! I went there last month and didn't expect it to be so scenic. The sea looks very beautiful with all these small islands with mountains scattered all across
I've had so many experiences on my Japan trips like your wonderful lady at the end. It always amazes me the number of super nice and genuinely lovely people who are willing to help in Japan. It's one of the many reasons I love the country and keep going back.
I found this channel a few months ago and it's become a ritual to watch one of your videos each week. They're always so fun and relaxing. Your passion for traveling around Japan inspires me to one day head out there myself.
I did one day on the shimanami kaido and enjoyed it so much i also had a similar experience it was getting dark and had to get back to the, very interesting jumping on a boat and scrambling around trying to find it, hopefully i will go back though one day yay
Rain Toro lol omg yes. I was like I should try this too, then towards the end I was like nah. If she can have trouble like this I will definitely have trouble too.
Lots of unexpected things happen when travelling but I think that's what makes the experience even better! Just book accommodation before you go and I'm sure you will be fine :)
I love the old lady how she’s worried to help you find your accommodation. Japanese are hospitable, I remember when I was lost finding the tonkatsu shop and finding my accommodation at night. They tried their best to help me out :)
I love the cliff hanger.. I got locked out of my business hotel in Kagoshima. It made for a fun & interesting night. Looking forward to the next video.
Hi Angela, happy to see your new uploaded content 🤗 Wow! surprising the lady was so helpful looking for a place for you & your friend. My guess🤔 she have you and your friend stay at her place overnight😉 looking forward part 2 😀
Wow beautiful places. The ending though...kinda scary lol. When you bought that chicken burger in that konbini, it reminded me of a hilarious skit in Nichijou when Yuuko bought a chicken bar.
Geez! That really took an unexpected turn. All that beauty sharply contrasted by the tension! I'm with what most of the guys here are thinking. Pretty sure that nice shop owner offers you both accommodation for the night. :-)
I have only been to Japan once, but while I was there I experienced the same level of assistance from someone (like at the end of this video). It was at the airport and the attendant was trying so hard to try and get my ticket to work, but for whatever reason it wasn't working. But she had such a strong determination to make sure I made my flight. In the end it was some number I had that wasn't on the information I gave her, but the level of service and the above-and-beyond nature I experienced was wonderful.
That chicken sandwich made me extremely hungry. It looked really good. Hope it was delicious! Oh and that woman was super helpful, she went way out of her way to help you guys. She must have been worried for you guys. Can't wait to see what happens next.
Next time you should definitely book your hotel ahead of time or at least look at what is available along the route. I'm in so much suspense waiting for the next video now!! 😣 ~Loved the extra creepy factor of the clock chimes at night. And, bad decisions aside, it does make for more interesting videos! Lol
I did this trip in spring and it was one of the best bike rides I've ever done! The views were good. But 70 kms in a day is a lot. Deserved the onsen afterwards! Hope you managed to find one too!
Cliffhanger!! Angela please put out the next video soon! This bike trail looks awesome. We have a very long bike trail in my town that is very popular. But it doesn't have view like that!
yeah, I remember I saw a bus with lots of grafitti, some human size dolls next to the sunset beach, a baseball field and that I got lost while searching Citrus Park...lol
i was in onomichi for a week just in October, saw the ferry port, but didn't bike on the shimanami kaido trail. Yes, the whole area gets quiet after 5pm, esp in the fall/winter when it gets dark early. Glad to see this video. I am sure you found accommodation somehow, the ppl there are so much nicer than Tokyoites. :)
Omg that looks like an amazing idea! I love cycling so I'm definitely adding this to my to do list in Japan =) Also that ending though...it was a cliffhanger lol
I really enjoyed the style of the video. With you talking to us on the camera and your reactions as you experience everything you see. Cant wait to see more
That is why I always make sure to plan for each day's accommodation when I travel. Why would anyone want to trouble a nice old lady like that late at night for a problem you should have sorted out yourself. Hopefully people don't get the wrong message from the video and think they could just act irresponsibly because someone nice would hopefully always be there to help.
omg the suspense, that's tough when all the hotels are booked, I was thinking hey I want to bike this route. Now I'm like uhh...I don't speak Japanese what would I do then haha
Yeah, just book ahead :) Not knowing the language can sometimes be fun because it just makes it that much more of an adventure! Don't let the language stop you from exploring!
Definitely hasn't stopped me so far with my trip in Seoul. Heading to Japan in two days for a few weeks, excited to visit a lot of the places that I've seen in your video!
Wow, the lady is sooooo nice in her pursuit to try to find a place for you to stay the night. The kind of hospitality that you'd only find in Japan I guess! Can't wait for the next episode!
khyezr You can find it in Philippines too !😉 They will even let you stay in their own house if you want to!
When it's dark and you are foreign to the location and searching a accomdation. Many people use their contacts to help you out xD
@@cfdby4784 agree Filipino here
You can probably finish riding through all 6 islands at a reasonable pace if you start at dawn. I dont understand why you would ride into the night at a later hour, and not book ahead a place to stay. This was poor planning. Could be dangerous. Just saying. Now I have to watch the 2nd part lol
A tip: watch series on Flixzone. Been using them for watching loads of movies lately.
Omg this turned from cute travel video to scary drama so fast 😂
Japanese horror movie in the making... just jokes :P
I cycled from Onomichi to Imabari in one day last year. Even an experienced cyclist would take 8 hours to do that and I'm not a fit person so it took me 11 hours to complete, including 1.5 hour *not wasted* because I went to a wrong way but man the view was so beautiful!

That's all folks! You really should try Shimanami Kaido at least once if you like traveling. It's a very unique experience and I highly recommend it.
Well, I am even more intrigued! I tend to enjoy quiet, beaten up, ghost town type of places.
Thank you so much for this!
The Yamato service would be much needed!
The old lady at the end is one of the things I love about Japan-complete strangers can be so kind and go out of their way to help people they don’t know.
That lady who called the hotels was so nice!! She really took the effort to help you! :)
Was super touched by how much she wanted to help us!!
Japanese are so kind. It touches my heart.
Happy Friday!! How has everyone beeeeen?? Forgive me for the late uploads recently!! Will be back on track from now 🤞🏼🤞🏼
But... more importantly, what do you think happens next...??? 😏
You stay at a spooky Internet Cafe........?
internationally ME oh my! I hope you two found somewhere to rest! I think the nice lady will help😉
Given how nice the old lady is maybe she lets you guys stay at her place :D?
Great video as always! Also saw that you are going to Kanazawa? I´m studying there at the moment ^-^ Would be nice if there was a fan meetup !
I say that the kind woman offers you accommodation in her house...
internationally ME I hope you stay safe and I also hope that find a place to stay that is cozy
That helpful lady is heaven sent. And the best part is... that's common in Japan.
Japanese people are naturally polite, disciplined, warm, and super helpful. The go-out-of-their-way helpful.
That, and their beautiful country makes keep coming back to Japan.
Yay! A new video! I watch your stuff religiously. It's helped my fiancé and I make the decision to move to Japan and your videos have been a great help in helping us learn about the country and prepare ourselves

Best of luck to you and your fiancé, Josh :)
I like the "horror" ending!
Dun dun dun... 👻
I love it too!!! 😱
Isn't it beautiful what you can do on a bicycle? No noise, no exhaust, just enjoying the surroundings around you. Awesome.
I saw this video before my trip to Japan. And as soon as I saw I knew I had to do it. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO. Cycling the Shimanami Kaido was a life changing experience. I did this by myself and taught me so much! I’ll forever cherish these moments forever 💖
CONGRATS!! ^,^
This is why I appreciate your channel so much! I had no idea this even existed. Another amazing video, thank you!

what a cliffhanger ending, waiting for the next video!
😉😉
Ooh... A cliffhanger ending - now I can't wait for the next episode! But seriously, that lady was so nice and helpful. She went above and beyond to help!
omg that old lady was so nice! she really go out of the way to help people
Oh nooo!!!!!!! the old lady is da real MVP tho Faith in humanity restored!
NOOO NOT A CLIFFHANGER!!!
but it makes me happy that she's doing her best so that you have a place to sleep. sooo nice!
My gosh.. THIS is an adventure. Sweet woman at the end for helping you out. It's a good thing you have a guy with you too!
Oh it's so close to rabbit Island! I went there last month and didn't expect it to be so scenic. The sea looks very beautiful with all these small islands with mountains scattered all across
I've had so many experiences on my Japan trips like your wonderful lady at the end.
It always amazes me the number of super nice and genuinely lovely people who are willing to help in Japan. It's one of the many reasons I love the country and keep going back.
The suspense music at the end added the chill

I have always wanted to go cycling in Japan... and I’m going to buy a ticket there tonight!! Woohoo!!
I did one day on the shimanami kaido and enjoyed it so much i also had a similar experience it was getting dark and had to get back to the, very interesting jumping on a boat and scrambling around trying to find it, hopefully i will go back though one day yay
Me at the beginning: OMG! WANNA TRY THIS OUT!
at the end: wait... Lol. Poor Angela.
Rain Toro lol omg yes. I was like I should try this too, then towards the end I was like nah. If she can have trouble like this I will definitely have trouble too.
Lots of unexpected things happen when travelling but I think that's what makes the experience even better! Just book accommodation before you go and I'm sure you will be fine :)
the OG Granny omg, i probably wouldnt find a granny that would help me here in sydney the way she did to you guys
Amazing trip, Nice presentation, Regards from Egypt
Woah...what an ending!!...can't wait for part two!!😱😱😱
I love the old lady how she’s worried to help you find your accommodation. Japanese are hospitable, I remember when I was lost finding the tonkatsu shop and finding my accommodation at night. They tried their best to help me out :)

Been a week and im still hooked on that cliffhanger
Coming tonight! Hopefully.. if I finish in time haha
Wow beautiful places. The ending though...kinda scary lol. When you bought that chicken burger in that konbini, it reminded me of a hilarious skit in Nichijou when Yuuko bought a chicken bar.
waw..........assume place................wish can go there once.........Love it
The ending was the best! Really can't wait for PART 2
嬉しい！！！！！😁😁😁😁
I wanna thank you so much 😊, riding this was one of the best experiences of my life and I found it through this video.
I'm glad you went slow and took pictures. If it were me I'd zoom through the whole thing before noon. 70km is like a brisk morning workout!
Geez! That really took an unexpected turn. All that beauty sharply contrasted by the tension!
I'm with what most of the guys here are thinking. Pretty sure that nice shop owner offers you both accommodation for the night. :-)
whoa, suddenly found this! I am so happy to be around the first hundreds of people watching this video! can't wait to the ep2:)
Waiting for the next part...Thank you Angela!!
wow adding this to my bucket list! Just hope I am fit enough.
I have only been to Japan once, but while I was there I experienced the same level of assistance from someone (like at the end of this video).

with every one of your videos my bucket to do list for Japan trip keeps increasing. thank you for showing this track and beautiful scenic beauty
Oh... you’re lodging problem reminded me of Mary & St. Joseph. 😊 but kudos to the lady, she was very helpful and went out her way to make calls.
Absences makes the heart grow fonder!!! Nice sites!!!!
I love biking so much, better to plan hotels ahead of time, or pack a small tent. The views look amazing.
Keep up the great videos ...I really enjoy your travels and the great coverage your cover about the Japanese food.😴
Thank you!! 😊😊 More coming soooon

Cliffhanger!!! Haha that turned really dramatic. That old lady seemed really nice, helpful and worried about you so I hope you'll be fine.
Aw man, that brings back all those memories when I did it in August. It's such a beautiful view all around and you can meet so many nice people there.
You read my mind
I was about to suggest you to make a video on cycling in japan and here it is you made it
Love your videos ❤
Looking forward to the next video!!! The suspense is too much!!
Very cool. I'm planning doing this later in the spring when the weather gets a bit nicer.
"Are you actually scared?"
"Yeah"
"I'm here don't worry" - That was awesome xD SO ADORABLE ANGELA!!
Next time you should definitely book your hotel ahead of time or at least look at what is available along the route. I'm in so much suspense waiting for the next video now!! 😣
~Loved the extra creepy factor of the clock chimes at night. And, bad decisions aside, it does make for more interesting videos! Lol
fantastix video looks like so much fun. I would love to ride a bike over these bridges
wooooHwww!!! subarashi!!,,, hope to see that place soon.. i,ll gonna be there on nana gatsu nijuusan nichi....so exited!
Omg so much suspense at the end. I'm biting my nails. !!!!!!!
Hehe next week... you will see what happens - hurries back to editing -
I did this trip in spring and it was one of the best bike rides I've ever done! The views were good. But 70 kms in a day is a lot. Deserved the onsen afterwards! Hope you managed to find one too!
Omg o bāchan is so helpful. Can't wait till what happens next.
That sweet woman at the end trying to help you find a place to stay... People can be so kind.
All your videos are interesting but this one in particular wow the best you left me with the anxiety that happened to you.
すべてありがとう.
Thank YOU for always watching!
That lady is so caring
Cliffhanger!! Angela please put out the next video soon!
This bike trail looks awesome. We have a very long bike trail in my town that is very popular. But it doesn't have view like that!
Ohhh, I love this video. It's like a Drama TV show ;) Looking forward to next week. Maybe the nice old lady will invite you to her house?
ああー、羨ましいです。自転車乗りとしては一度はしまなみ海道行ってみたいです。
Ah, I'm jealous! I really want to go and ride a bike through the islands once.
Cant wait for the next video!
Oh!!!! So great!!! You made me cry!!! Superb memories!!! I did that 1 year and a half ago!!! Natsukashii!!!
Ohhhh!! Must be interesting to see it from some one else's point of view too haha!
yeah, I remember I saw a bus with lots of grafitti, some human size dolls next to the sunset beach, a baseball field and that I got lost while searching Citrus Park...lol
Me and my boyfriend literally just decided to do this next year and then you put this video up! Amazing
Absolutely worth the wait! Thanks Angela!:)
Thanks Brad! Hope you are having a good one!
I enjoyed watching your adventure.
Going to book mark this video because the Shimanami Kaido is something that I really want to do one day.
Thank you for the video! :D
It's soooo much more beautiful in real life! Videos don't do justice :O
“It’s okay, I’ve got insurance in Tokyo” lol Angela your videos are very entertaining. Makes me want to go back to Japan! ❤️
Hehe 😉 Hope you can come back someday soon!
internationally ME i hope so too! ☺️
A new video and it's a cycling one! 😍😍😍
wow this is so much fun biking all 6 islands connected by bridges...
another additional to do list in japan.
Thank you!
Glad you liked it, Joseph :D
Its a beautiful route... I am going to ride it!
i was in onomichi for a week just in October, saw the ferry port, but didn't bike on the shimanami kaido trail. Yes, the whole area gets quiet after 5pm, esp in the fall/winter when it gets dark early. Glad to see this video. I am sure you found accommodation somehow, the ppl there are so much nicer than Tokyoites. :)
hello angela, your killing me with that suspense ending. anyways, thanks for the upload. great video as usual . i really enjoy watching your video.
Cliff hanger?! That's something new! ;) Absolutely enjoy your work and I can't wait until your next video.
Omg that looks like an amazing idea! I love cycling so I'm definitely adding this to my to do list in Japan =) Also that ending though...it was a cliffhanger lol
Yahoo..you are back from Dead*-* . Wow this route looks better than they showed us in anime*-*
Wahhh I will do it when I back to Japan.... Ur video so awesome 🤗
Haha this was so cool and refreshing! And finally a lav mic! You're really stepping up your game :) Sweet!
I am having a wonderful Friday knowing that there is a new video from you Angela. I love your videos. Keep up the good work!😙🤗👍
Beautiful video of a beautiful place... :D
The trip became an adventure to get accommodation... :O
It was very kind of the woman to offer help... T_T
It looked fun until it turned dark. Hope you had a good accommodation for that night.
Nice adventure and the oldwoman who willingly to help you^^
That Old Lady Got Have My Respect !!!
I really enjoyed the style of the video. With you talking to us on the camera and your reactions as you experience everything you see. Cant wait to see more
Thanks!! More coming soon ;)
That is why I always make sure to plan for each day's accommodation when I travel. Why would anyone want to trouble a nice old lady like that late at night for a problem you should have sorted out yourself. Hopefully people don't get the wrong message from the video and think they could just act irresponsibly because someone nice would hopefully always be there to help.
omg the suspense, that's tough when all the hotels are booked, I was thinking hey I want to bike this route. Now I'm like uhh...I don't speak Japanese what would I do then haha
Yeah it can be tough sometimes finding accommodation at the last minute, especially if you can't speak japanese ! I recommend you book ahead !!
Yeah, just book ahead :) Not knowing the language can sometimes be fun because it just makes it that much more of an adventure! Don't let the language stop you from exploring!
Definitely hasn't stopped me so far with my trip in Seoul. Heading to Japan in two days for a few weeks, excited to visit a lot of the places that I've seen in your video!
