View from Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge, part of Shimanami-kaido that connects Onomichi (Hiroshima prefecture) with Imabari (Ehime prefecture). Many people ride bikes across these bridges and explore the little islands in between.
Hatsu-hinode, the tradition of waking up early on New Years Day to watch the first sunrise of the year, is still popular in Japan. Some climb mountains, others go to the shore, or people in the city watch from their balconies or from towers. If you are in the Imabari area, Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge is the perfect spot to watch the sunrise above the Seto Inland Sea.
Under the Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge, which leads you to Onomichi in Hiroshima from Imabari. It's a great path for cycling, with amazing views of the Seto Inland Sea.

娘家族と全員で9人とワンコ1匹で宿泊しました。9人での真夏の旅行は、初めてで…とにかくワンコも泊まれる一棟貸しを探して、こちらにおじゃましました。 島なので、海水浴もサイコーのロケーションで、砂浜もサラサラきれいだし、無料シャワーもあり、孫たちは大興奮でした。 お部屋は、設備とか細部にまでオーナーのこだわり満載の、至れり尽せりで、アイデアいっぱいでした。エアコンバリバリ効かせてくれてたので、ずっと涼しかったです。 とてもセンス良いお宿です。 食事は、BBQとモーニングをお願いしました。その日採れた新鮮な魚介類やお肉、ご飯は炊いておむすびを作りました。おなかいっぱいです。モーニングは、近くのカフェから。 ...
