Bike trip

Hi,

We, senior couple, did Shimanami Kaido few years ago, loved it. I am aware of Tobishima Kaido and will consider it.

Any other bike trip recommendations? We want multi-day trips, not day trips.

Thanks, PH

YES, a lot.

I did 2 months plus transport by train... (if train you need to bag up your bicycle) and still have LOADS of places where I�fd like to ride.

Here my blog for an oversight:

I am not a strong cyclist so no mountains

In the planning section you can find my plans. I hadn�ft time to realize all of them (yet) and in the Rides section summaries of the actual rides including strava maps.

My personal cycling highlights are these: (not all of them multiple days)

For multiple days I think my favorites would be Kansai:

But also check out Nara Prefecture http://bicycletraveljapan.blogspot.com/search/label/Nara

Other great areas for multiple days could be:
- Shimanto area in Shikoku
- Yamanashi (haven�ft been yet but plan to go later this year hopefully. Some cycling friends in Tokyo recommended it)
- Wakkanai to Rumoi (specially if you go in summer!)
- Izumo/Matsue
-Tono Valley and Hiraizumi
-Yamagata
-Sado Island
...

If you have any specific questions during your planning, happy to help

Enjoy planning your ride!

All of @LikeBike's suggestions are good as usual and her blog is very helpful. I haven't done multi day rides as I like to have a base to explore from but I can say that I really liked the Tobishima kaido although it is a flat road round the islands. I should have stopped & done more sightseeing rather than completing the route in a day. Maybe stopping overnight near Okamura at https://sekizen.eyado.net/ The Maruseki cafe there is very welcoming http://marusekicafe.com/ There is also some really nice riding on Kyushu. Both north of Nagasaki up to Sasebo & in the Kagoshima area and down to the southern tip of the island.

Thanks for replies

Tobishima sounds great, and assurances of flatness is helpful. We would stay 2 nights during ride, any other suggestions welcomed.

Looks like we have to rent in Imabari, may add Shikoku too.

Thanks, PH
