Akira took a trip cycling along the Shimanami Kaido, a series of bridges connecting islands in Japan. He flew from Tokyo to Hiroshima, then spent two nights in a minshuku inn on Omishima Island while cycling parts of the 70 km Shimanami Kaido route, which passes over multiple bridges with scenic views. He enjoyed the local seafood, then returned home via plane from Matsuyama.
