Depart from Imabari Station (bus)

Take the Setonaikai Kotsu bus bound for Omishima departing from Imabari Station at 8:40 (Platform ②). Receive your numbered ticket when you board. Since you have already purchased the set ticket, you only need to show the non-returnable side of your smartphone when you get off.

After about 50 minutes, we arrived at Hakata BS via Oshima.

Once you get off the bus, turn left onto the road in front of you and walk for 3 minutes to reach the Hakata SC Roadside Station (there is a bicycle rental shop behind the building). If you have made a reservation, a bicycle will be waiting for you, adjusted to your height.
