Hiroshima Islands by E Bike Cafés Coastlines and Local Life

Mobile ticket
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.

5.00We were picked up by Alex at the hotel at the agreed time. Then we picked up the ebikes and went to see all the sights of Hiroshima including a beautiful Japanese garden. After a delicious lunch we even had time to cycle along the sea. Highly recommended.

5.00Summary: a reallife island bicycle tour. Good guide with some hidden spots we would have missed for sure when on our own. Alex picked is up at our hotel and had allready arranged bikes. He explained the plan for the day and the traffic rules. He did bring a helmet for our son. First ride was to the ferry terminal. Through the city but mostly across the river. Then by ferry to Etajima. Etajima is a island not many tourist visit. The island has a big industry for oisters but also very nice spots with lovely views. The island has very limited touristics spots so you see the real life of japanese people fishing working eating. Alex explained us about the island and showed us some nice spots. We had lunch in the local restaurant. And after lunch we saw the most beautifill spots of the island. The pace was good. A nice balance between cycling and resting. It was nice to be away from the big city and don't see tourist for a day.
