Exciting whitewater cruise Spectacular cafes with delicious cakes This is J. I’m on Oshima Island on the Shimanami Kaido in Ehime Prefecture. We were going to head to Hakata Island from the Kirosan Observatory. My husband, S., said, “I want to go on a whitewater tour. We are heading to the sea.
This is the second installment of the Shimanami Kaido series. Please subscribe to our channel! The route from Mt.Kirosan The Seto Inland Sea is famous for its rough waves. There is a tour where you can experience the rapids by boat. “This place looks great.“ “Looks like a lot of fun.“
A whitewater tour boat leaves from here. This “Yoshiumi Iki-Ikiikan” is one of the roadside stations on the Shimanami Kaido. There are souvenir shops and restaurants. Seafood barbecue is also available. You can sign up for whitewater tours here. Various souvenirs are sold here. From juice, alcohol, food to stationery and other miscellaneous goods.
And of course, Imabari towels. Boat tickets can be purchased at the counter here. Tide currents are indicated by ○ and △. ⚫︎ and ★ are really powerful, but there was none on this day. We were told where to board the boat. Tickets are 2 for 3,600 yen and can be paid with PAYPAY.
S looks like he wants to eat at the various restaurants. After this, S was gone for a moment. He was buying Hakata no Shio (salt) soft ice cream.lol “This one. I think it should be more popular.” “But salted ice cream is already the rage.” “I see.” “It’s everywhere.“
“It’s the easiest thing to make.“ “I see.“ The wife breaks down S’s innocent excitement over salted ice cream.lol From here we board the boat. We will give you a ticket in turn and board the boat. Put on your life jacket. “Please be aware that you may get splashed by the water.“
“The wind is blowing today, so the chance of getting splashed is increasing.“ The lady will guide you and the boat will depart. It sure looks like we are going to get splashed. Guidance on the world’s first triple suspension bridge, the Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge As mentioned in the previous video (Oshima)
It is the biggest bridge on the Shimanami Kaido that goes all the way to Onomichi. We will pass under the bridge. This is a sight you can only see by boat. It’s a beautiful bridge, isn’t it? Heading to the rapids point. Oh, wow. The sea is swirling!
They say that this “WAKISHIO（rip current）” is created when the tide hits the reefs. “The ocean is capricious, so we never know when it will happen.“ “Can you see how flat the ocean is?“ “This flat feeling of the sea cause a Wakishio.“ To the other rapids point “We are going into the Wakishio.“
“A normal boat would avoid this point. Because we are a tide boat We’re going into the rapids.“ “Wow wow“ “Wow!“ “Wow!“ “Wow, scary!“ “Nessie is coming!“ “Today’s waves are still on the loose side!“ “Ew!“ so excited.lol “When the vortex reaches its maximum.It will be over a meter high.“
Taller than the ship. There is also a thriving fishing industry in this area. It is said that fish nourished by the plankton and small fishes in the abundant sea The tidal currents are said to make the fish tighter and tastier. Of course, I plan to eat fish this evening.
By the way, we were around here. You can see Umashima-Island over there. Only residents are allowed to drive onto this island. Recently, glamping facilities have been built on the island, making it a popular destination. Kurushima is located in the Kurushima Strait and was the home of the Murakami Pirates.
This is Hashihama Bay. A place known as a shipbuilding town. They say there are five shipbuilding companies here. This is a 40,000 ton cargo ship. It is still under construction and is said to be about 170 meters long. The ship over there is said to be 200 meters long and 60,000 tons.
The new ship was launched last month. At the end of the cruise, a lady sang “Seto no Bride” for us. For those of you from overseas, this is a hit song of yesteryear set in the Seto Inland Sea. We will return to the ship while being healed by her wonderful singing voice.
Thank you very much for a wonderful cruise. Now, we are going to Hakata Island to go to a sweet store. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the destination. “This is the end of the island, to the Next Island” This Hakata-Oshima Oshima Bridge is 1,165 meters long.
It is a bridge that connects two bridges of different shapes, a girder bridge and a suspension bridge, into a single bridge. This is the suspension bridge “Oshima-Big Bridge”. Here is the girder bridge “Hakata Bridge Hakata Island is famous for Hakata no Shio (salt).
This is where the salt used for the soft-serve ice cream S was eating earlier comes from. A fun place to visit as a tourist spot, with spots where you can touch dolphins. There is a cafe that I love on this island. There is also a place for bicycles.
The family originally established the business as a Japanese confectionery after the war. It was renovated as a cake shop in 1977. The family used to have a different location, but moved here in 2007.
It is so popular that people come all the way from far away to enjoy delicious cakes in a great location. “Definitely the best seat in the house.“ “That’s right.“ But that seat might be good, too. Or this seat on the opposite side might be nice too.
The windows are so big that you can see the ocean beautifully even from indoors I hear it’s designed to have a beautiful view of the ocean, with the floor raised a bit, etc. The fruit parfait that S ordered has arrived. It is large and filled with strawberries, apples, melons, and other fruits.
I think he just had soft-serve ice cream.lol I ordered a pineapple cake. There are various fruit cakes depending on the season. They use fruits from around here, and they are very tasty. They are a patisserie, so the cream and sponge are very tasty, Peach Melba and Earl Grey Iced Tea
By the way, what’s on the other side of that wall? It’s a rocky terrain. Mmmm, it feels so nice! I hear that many people move to the islands along the Shimanami Kaido I can understand why they are attracted by the pleasant breeze and the view.
The bill was 2,750 yen for the two of us. GOCHISOSAMA,Thank you for the sweets. The sky has become somewhat beautiful. We are going to Omishima to see more beautiful sunsets. I’ll let you know in the next video. Thank you for watching! Please subscribe and rate our channel!
