We received a nice video from Jacob:
Hey!
I am Jacob Laukaitis, a 21 year old digital nomad, who’s already been to more than 30 countries in the last 2 years. I enjoy capturing moments from my travels and share them with the world. Here’s my newest one – 160km long bike ride across 6 islands in Japan.
The route that I took is called Shimanami Kaido. It connects the Honshu and Shikoku islands through 6 smaller islands. The smaller islands are connected with massive bridges. The roads are well developed and makes riding a bike a breeze. The islands themselves don’t really have special sights or points of interest for tourists but the ride itself was wonderful.
As you can see from the video, the islands are connected with massive bridges. Every time I would have to cross a bridge, I would ride up, then cross it and cycle down to the coastline.
The cycling paths are amazing, perfectly suited for bike rides. Speaking of safety, I don’t think there’s a single place in Japan that’s not safe which makes the ride even more enjoyable.
One of the most interesting things I saw along the way must be the massive dinosaur popping out of nowhere. It was quite an unexpected sigh, but an enjoyable one. Another interesting thing I noticed during this adventure was that there were dozens of old people cycling along the path. And the bridges!
The main reason why I decided to take this route was that I heard it’s one of the most interesting things to do in Japan and I simply could not resist not doing it.
If you’d like to see more of my travels, I post 2 videos a month. I am really thankful for Travel-Ticker.com for their contribution to this trip. You can follow me on my personal website JacobLaukaitis.com or on my Instagram where I post the best moments from my trips.
