Highlights
Escape the crowds and discover a side of Hiroshima most travelers never see. Just a 40-minute scenic ferry ride from the city, Etajima Island feels like a different world—peaceful coastal roads, traditional fishing villages, olive groves, and locally run cafés overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. This private e-bike experience lasts around 6 hours, but the cycling itself is gentle and broken up by ferry crossings, café stops, lunch, and time off the bike to enjoy the scenery. Comfortable pedal-assist e-bikes make the ride accessible for anyone with basic cycling ability. Along the way, we stop for coffee at a seaside café, enjoy a local lunch, and visit tucked-away beaches and scenic viewpoints far from busy sightseeing routes. Guided by a local, the day offers an authentic look at everyday island life at an unhurried pace. The tour schedule can be adjusted to combine easily with a visit to the Peace Memorial Park on the same day. This is a private tour for your group only.

About Hiroshima
Hiroshima, on Japan's Seto Inland Sea, is a rebuilt river city whose Peace Memorial Park and museum recall the atomic bombing of 1945.
Hiroshima spreads across the delta of the Ōta River, whose channels, bridges and trams give the city an open feel. The atomic bomb of 6 August 1945 destroyed most of it. The Peace Memorial Park beside the river holds the Atomic Bomb Dome, a ruined building left standing and listed by UNESCO, the Peace Memorial Museum and the Children's Peace Monument.
