Don’t you want people to ask, “Where is that photo?!”
Senkoji Temple
(Onomichi)
Perched at an elevation of 144 meters, this temple offers panoramic views of Onomichi’s charming townscape and the Seto Inland Sea. The scenery from here is breathtaking no matter when you visit! The nearby Cat Alley feels like stepping into a Studio Ghibli world.The observation deck "PEAK," renovated in 2022, is also strikingly cool in design!
Tori Soba
(Onomichi)
When you come to Onomichi, you might think of Onomichi ramen… but if you’re starting from Shin-Onomichi, you definitely should try “Torishiba Honten.” For those who like rich flavors, their hearty chicken broth ramen is highly recommended—it’s surprisingly packed with deep chicken umami. If you prefer a lighter, clear soup, the yuzu (citrus) ramen is a must-try! Whether you like rich or light ramen, this noodle shop will leave you fully satisfied!
Tachibana beach
(Mukaishima)
With its stunning ocean view, Tachibana Beach feels almost like you’ve stepped into Hawaii. Enjoy the resort-like atmosphere with nearby cafés and sweet treats while soaking in the coastal scenery.
Miraishin Hills
(Ikuchijima)
A garden covered entirely in white marble, creating a stunningly pure white world. The contrast between the bright blue sky and the white landscape is truly mystical! It’s a beautiful spot for photos from any angle and highly recommended for picture-taking
Hyakkoya Lemonade
（Ikuchijima）
A rich lemon aroma with a refreshingly light sweetness—this lemonade brings out 100% of Setoda’s famous lemon flavor. Many say it’s the best lemonade of their life, so don’t miss it! Show your Shima Rider bike key for 10% off drinks— another reason to hop on a scooter and let’s goooooo!!!
Located in Setoda's Shiomachi Shopping Arcade, this select shop offers a wide selection of prepared dishes, bento boxes, and food-related items made with local ingredients from Setoda and the Shimanami area. The selection reflects the care and dedication of the producers. Buying the same standard souvenirs as everyone else is boring! This is a must-see select shop for those looking to buy "core" souvenirs from the Shimanami Kaido!
Pro-level ramen, unique souvenirs & the best Instagram spots
Onomichi is full of photo-worthy moments—retro trains, temple streets, and adorable cats. But the Shimanami Kaido has its own magic: epic bridge views you can only capture from a scooter! With a scooter, carrying camera gear is easy, and stopping at scenic spots is a breeze. by SAKI
