Umashima is the first little island on the Shimanami Kaido. It was once used for breeding war horses, but they didn't thrive on the steep slopes. Today it's a quiet place with little beaches and abundant bird life. Riding across the bridge to Umashima is an undemanding way to get a little taste of the Shimanami Kaido if you don't have time for anything longer. There are no shops or restaurants, so take your own fodder.
