The Akinada Tobishima Kaido connects islands in the Seto Inland Sea with seven bridges, running from Kure City through Shimo-Kamagari Island, Kami-Kamagari Island, Toyoshima Island, and Osaki Shimojima Island to Okamura Island in Ehime Prefecture. It features a cycling route with a minimum distance of approximately 30 km. Much of the route follows the coastline beside the calm Seto Inland Sea, making it a popular destination where cyclists can ride in the refreshing sea breeze.

Shimo-Kamagari Island is recommended for a casual bike ride. The island prospered as a major transportation hub in the Seto Inland Sea and was visited by Korean diplomatic missions during the Edo period (1603–1868). Its stone-paved streets are home to museums and other cultural facilities, making cycling a pleasant way to explore the island.

Rental bicycles can be arranged at Cottage Kajigahama. Bike delivery and one-way drop-off are also available, making it possible to cycle across the islands of the Akinada Tobishima Kaido while enjoying the sea breeze.
