1. Start at Omishima's popular guest house WAKKA!

"WAKKA" is a comprehensive cycling facility on Omishima that takes advantage of the spectacular scenery and nature of the Seto Inland Sea and is lined with accommodations and cafes. First, rent a bicycle here, take a lecture, and then set out. The E-bikes you rent will assist you even on steep slopes, so there is no need to worry even if you are unsure about your physical strength.

2. First, we will head to Shikoku’s most powerful power spot, “Oyamazumi Shrine”

Oyamazumi Shrine is known as the ``Island of the Gods'' and is a power spot that has become a hot topic when it comes to making wishes come true, and is visited not only by locals but also by many people from all over the country. You can feel a lot of power from the 2,600-year-old sacred tree and the mystery of nature.

3. Try trekking on Mt. Anjin for a spectacular view of the Seto Inland Sea!

After walking around Oyamazumi Shrine, we will climb Mt. Anjin at the foot of Mt. Washigato, the sacred mountain. The climbing trails of Mt. Anjin are well-maintained and very easy to walk, making it a very popular mountain that even families and beginner mountain climbers can climb relatively easily (the chain trail on the other route is recommended for intermediates and above). Let's be soothed by the quiet temple grounds while being overwhelmed by the camphor trees, which are designated as natural monuments!

Approximate time: Approximately 60 minutes up - 40 minutes down

4. Satisfy your appetite with “Kamishima Manju”

The ``Kamishima manju'' that you can eat while enjoying the spectacular view from the top of the mountain is exquisite. It is a manju made of castella dough that is scented with elegant white bean paste and mandarin orange flower honey from Omishima Island, and is engraved with the company emblem of Oyamagi Shrine. Don't forget to purchase before leaving in front of the second torii gate!

5. Enjoy Omishima in an active way

You can feel a lot of power not only from Oyamazumi Shrine and Mt. Anjin, but also from the view of the Seto Inland Sea from the top of the mountain. It's an active course with e-bikes and trekking, but the scenery is worth it. Let's refresh both mind and body by eating local seafood rice bowl after descending the mountain!
