This route mainly connects Shikoku and Hiroshima. There are various bridges, each with its own unique features. The scenery along the way is beautiful, and it's great for both driving and cycling.

Reoma Resort / New Reoma World
Welcome to one of the largest themeparks in the Chugoku/Shikoku Region. Packed with 22 different attractions, character mascot parades and fun across its many park areas, you’ll even find roller coaster rides, VR experiences, an oversized ferris wheel! There’s also the Reoma Flower World known for its tulips, roses, and other flowers that bloom across all seasons, the Oriental Trip area filled with recreations of famous architecture across Asia, and plenty across the park to ensure your day is fully packed with fun. To top it off, why not stay a night at “Hotel Reoma no Mori” known for its hot springs and gourmet food.
The parking lot is ridiculously huge, but there are barely any visitors inside the park. The upside is you don't have to wait in line for rides, but with so few people, the amusement area just doesn't feel lively or fun.

Hakone Tozan Railway / Hakone Tozan Cable Car
The Hakone Tozan Railway is an indispensable part of sightseeing in Hakone, with many of the major spots in the city located along the route.
During flower season, the railway is lined with all kinds of beautiful blooms. It's a really scenic train ride.

Blue Bottle Coffee Kiyosumi Shirakawa Flagship Cafe
The popular coffee shop born in California, USA opened the first shop in Japan in October, 2019, as Kiyosumi Shirakawa Flagship Cafe.
There's a dedicated hand-drip coffee bar here, so you can watch the baristas brew your coffee right in front of you. You can also ask them anything about coffee—if you speak the language, that is! 😄 Plus, ordering is done with table service, and the staff all seem carefully selected—they're great in every way. This kind of special service isn't offered at other locations.
