The Yugeshima Kaido (meaning dream island road) is a smaller route you can ride to explore the Yuge Islands which are connected by bridges and ferry.
It’s a quieter route – but the views are just as stunning. It’s not flat, but you are rewarded with the view…
We circumnavigated Kamijima and stopped at a cafe for a coffee before taking the bridge.
…we also enjoyed onigiri while taking in the view,. The 🍙 was made by the accomodation place from the previous night with the rice we didn’t finish at dinner (food was amazing!).
The islands are known for citrus and salt (let’s not talk about the salt… controversial topic which involves Price in SA and Mexico), so lunch target was a cafe with lime flavoured pork.
After lunch the target was heading towards the other side of the island to catch a ferry and cycle to accommodation in Setoda.
Looks great. How long did this one take? And was there much cycling in with traffic?

As we stayed on Yugeshima island overnight, once we had breakfast we left and got on the road… maybe a couple of cars in different spots on the islands. The only way onto the islands are by ferry, so that dictates some traffic – there is less than the Shimanami Kaido. It was rubbish day so we had to stop and let a truck go by as the road was not very wide (but there was no traffic for the next 30 minutes. On one of the bridges cars were next to us, as there was no separated cycle lane but it was ok. Additionally you want to think about when things are open if you include the Yugeshima Kaido.
