One of my favorite things I've done in Japan is this. Tommy, our tour guide, took fantastic care of us despite the heat and humidity that day. He provided excellent insight into Etajima Island's history and food culture. The bike tour was fantastic since it allowed me and my friend to see some of the city's most beautiful sights. My friend and I decided to took a more difficult route, which led us up a high slope. Tommy was really supportive and helped us stay steady till we arrived at the top, which was well worth the incredible view. Reaching the top was followed by a downhill path, which was undoubtedly the trip's high point because it felt like a rollercoaster. Lunch was also fantastic. In addition to being a Chelsea supporter, the chef at Uosho Kagura was incredibly hospitable and served delicious oysters and other seafood. It was a first-rate Japanese experience. All in all, 10/10 The cuisine that was served afterwards was exquisite, and Tommy was an excellent host. I strongly support this tour!

We had such a wonderful day with Tommy who is passionate about Etajima. We were really able to to get off the beaten track on the excellent electric bikes. We opted for the more relaxed route but still saw lots of the island - hillsides, harbours and more. We met farmer and fisherman along the way (picking up fresh fish for lunch). A real insight into Setouchi life and culture. Lunch was spectacular at a cool rustic restaurant - with the friendliest of hosts. A highlight of our trip to Japan - thank you
Beautiful another side of Hiroshima cycling experience with Tommy

I really enjoyed this tour with my wonderful guide Tommy. It was little bit hot and humid day, but my guide Tommy took care of me very well. I was little bit worried about how to go to the meeting point at first, but he instructed me in advance, and he always took very good care when I asked him lots of question about the tour, and I really appreciate that. Cycling in Etajima island was really amazing, and you can feel flesh beautiful breeze with nice and easy bike ride. We also stopped by local fish market and market, and Tommy showed me local vegetable and fish. It was really nice experience. Our final stop was very nice fish restaurant, and it seemed like his friend owns that place, and he recommended me very special lunch plate for me. It was really awesome. I'm very lucky to find this kind of local tour in Japan. There were no other foreign tourists other than me, and I really enjoyed this tour!
