Onomichi 
Located on the southern coast of Hiroshima Prefecture, Onomichi is the perfect jumping-off point for those planning to tackle the Shimanami Kaido – probably Japan's most famous cycling route across the islands dotted throughout the inland sea. We highly recommend staying at the U2 Cycle Hotel, which boasts its own bike repair shop and has plenty of advice for cyclists!
Onomichi's main historical role was as a port, but the town also has a strong cultural background, with a large number of small temples dotted around the hills, all joined by a convenient walking route. Onomichi also literary and cinematic links with several popular authors and directors born in the town. Onomichi is also the starting (or ending!) point for the Shimanami Kaido, a 60km cycling route that hops from island to island linking Honshu with Shikoku.
