It is known that the Shimanami Kaido road is a mecca for cyclists. Imabari City is the home of this famous cycling route, giving tourists a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enjoy unique experiences, food, and culture. These experiences include "cycling" as well as a "tidal current experience" that gives visitors the chance to they experience one of the three fastest currents in Japan, as well as an experience where you can land on the island that is the base of the Murakami Kaizoku. Meanwhile, local foods include Imabari "yakitori (grilled chicken skewers)," which are dynamically cooked on a teppan hot plate right in front of you, as well as "sea bream on rice," which uses fish that grow up strong and healthy in the nearby rapids and are a delight for the tastebuds.
Finally, visitors can experience the culture of the area that encapsulates the essence of Japan for more than a thousand years, including Oyamazumi Shrine, a place of worship for ancient samurai.
We hope that you will take advantage of the opportunity to visit Imabari to enjoy genuinely new experiences.
