Overview

Discover the hidden charm of Himeji on this refreshing e-bike tour from the historic Shikama Kaido to the tranquil seaside. Once an important route connecting inland communities to the coast, the Shikama Kaido is rich in local history, traditional architecture, and stories that shaped the region.
