Hiroshima and the Seto Inland Sea are some of the most scenic areas of Japan. This tour offers an exploration of the wonderful variety of towns, villages, and islands in both rural and central Hiroshima through activities suited to you – kayaking, cycling, sightseeing walks, and hiking. Explore the seaside town of Tomonoura and UNESCO World Heritage island Miyajima, famous for its friendly deer and the iconic 'floating' torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine. Walk through the emotional history of Hiroshima, and stroll the timeless hilltop communities of Onomichi, finishing with our version of the varied and scenic island-hopping cycling course Shimanami Kaidō. Pass over the Setouchi Inland Sea, visiting remote islands along the way – together with deliciously fresh seafood cuisine, this route offers a uniquely modern café culture, before ending in Ehime Prefecture on the island of Shikoku.

Please ask for information about our tour extension to the historic ancient capital of Nara. This tour offers gentle cycling and hiking suitable for children of 13 and up. All activities are optional, so please enquire about alternatives if travelling with younger passengers.

For the cycling sections, E-bikes are also available for a supplemental fee.
