I cycled the shimanami kaido in an epic none stop journey from Hiroshima to Matsuyama - fixed. It killed me. But was bloody beautiful! Totally recommended. Just take the night bus down to Onomichi if you dont want to do the extra bit from Hiroshima. And then get the ferry from Matsuyama back to Osaka/Kobe. Sorted!
