Kamijima Town, consisting of 25 islands floating in the northeastern part of the Seto Inland Sea, is a hideaway-like island area where time flows leisurely precisely because it is not connected by large bridges. Among them, the cycling road called "Yumeshima Kaido" features no traffic lights and very light traffic, gathering attention from international travelers as a premier local course where you can ride stress-free while listening to the calm waves of the Seto Inland Sea. Walking the islands reveals nostalgic, rustic fishing village landscapes, warm interactions with local people, and the rich scent of citrus fruits tickling your senses. It is an ideal ocean resort for those wanting to luxuriously enjoy untouched island time that has not been overly commercialized.
