Embark on a private sea and cycling voyage across the tranquil islands of the Seto Inland Sea, followed by an evening of cultural hospitality and gourmet cuisine in Onomichi.

Morning & Afternoon ──Private Cruise and Island-Hopping Bike Tour

Your journey begins at Onomichi Sea Station, where you step aboard a luxurious private cruise. Sail across the placid, island-studded waters, passing giant shipyards and gliding right beneath the majestic Ikuchi Bridge. Arriving at the quiet docks of Yuge Island, an English-fluent expert guide leads you on an exhilarating bicycle ride. Feel the refreshing sea breeze as you cycle across soaring bridges, taking in 360-degree panoramas of the Setouchi seascape at your own comfortable pace. As an optional add-on, delight in premium sushi prepared by a private chef dispatched to the island at your tour's end.

Evening ──Tea Ceremony Hospitality and Contemporary French Dinner

Check in to Ryokan Onomichi Nishiyama, a beautifully reborn 1943 estate recognized with a MICHELIN Key. Relax in the Korin Lounge with a welcome matcha tea ceremony and traditional sweets, followed by a stroll through the serene central garden. As night falls, savor a modern French dinner at restaurant Yosoro. Each delicate course celebrates the seasonal bounties of the Seto Inland Sea, perfectly paired with a curated selection of sakes from Saijo and other parts of Hiroshima, as well as regional wines.

Awaken to the soothing morning breeze of the port town and enjoy a slow, relaxing morning before concluding your journey.

Morning ──Nourishing Local Breakfast and Morning Stroll

Start your day with a wholesome morning breakfast at the ryokan, featuring freshly prepared local ingredients such as clay pot rice designed to draw out inherent, natural flavors. Afterward, make the most of your morning at leisure. We highly recommend a quiet walk along Onomichi’s cobblestone slopes. Breathe in the fresh morning sea air as you weave through historic alleys, temples, and shrines, where traces of Onomichi's past remain woven into everyday life.

Afternoon ──Relaxed Departure from Scenic Onomichi

Spend your final hours relaxing in the ryokan's lounge. With a late checkout available until 12:00 PM, you can enjoy this personal sanctuary without feeling rushed. Afterwards, continue your afternoon by exploring Onomichi’s vibrant waterfront and retro shopping arcade, or extend your journey to the historic sake region of Saijo to tour traditional breweries before departing for your next destination.
