Experience of the stay
I stayed overnight while cycling the Shimanami Kaido for two days. It's a hostel located on Okunoshima. I had a private room and was able to sleep soundly. There was a proper bike storage for cyclists, which was reassuring. Although I didn't use them, there were shower rooms, a laundry, and a kitchen, which seemed convenient. There was a café attached, and I had breakfast there.
Experiences during the trip
I cycled along the Shimanami Kaido from Onomichi to Imabari. It was about 100 kilometers over two days. Since I had been away from cycling for a while, my butt started hurting just 30 minutes after departure. 💦 The Shimanami Kaido has many ups and downs, and it was hard to progress on the bridges connecting the islands because of the strong winds! I took breaks along the way, did some sightseeing, and ate delicious food before finally reaching the goal just before sunset! It was a tiring but fulfilling two days. 😆
