Kamijima Adventures
Kamijima Adventures
Full and half-day personalized, small-group bike tours of the beautiful and laidback Yumeshima Kaido, guided by local residents.
While the Shimanami Kaido has long captured the hearts of cyclists worldwide, there's a hidden gem just off its well-pedaled path — the Yumeshima Kaido. This peaceful island chain offers a quieter, more intimate cycling experience, where untouched coastal roads wind through sleepy fishing villages, citrus groves, and panoramic sea views that stretch to the horizon.
Kamijima Adventures, founded by Matt Petersen and his wife, Momo, invites you to explore these serene islands on carefully crafted routes that blend gentle rides along the coastline with immersive cultural experiences — perfect for travelers seeking both adventure and a deeper connection to local life.
The Yumeshima Kaido links five small islands, each with its unique character. You’ll cycle along quiet roads lined with stone walls built by generations of islanders, pass citrus orchards, and stop at hidden beaches where the only sounds are the lapping waves.
Kamijima Adventure focuses on personalized, small-group experiences. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or a casual rider, the tours are designed to move at a relaxed pace, allowing plenty of time for unplanned moments and serendipitous encounters.
For those venturing along the Shimanami Kaido, adding a day or two to explore the Yumeshima Kaido with Kamijima Adventures offers a rare chance to step off the main route and into the quiet rhythm of island life. It’s more than a cycling tour — an invitation to slow down, savor the moment, and discover a side of Japan that few see.
