Cycle
- Shimanto River is indeed a pretty long river. We drove from Uwajima taking the inner highland road from Kihoku along route 441 to Shimanto.
- Along this route, you will be able to see a couple of bridges cited as attractions in TripAdvisor.
- We stopped at the Shimanto TIC (Tourist Information Centre) at about 2 pm for the rental bike. We took a city bike at 500yen for half a day. The gentleman there kindly highlighted the route to take and strongly advised us not to cross the bridge, due to possible flooding in case of rain, and to double back.
- And so we set off. We rode 20 mins on city roads, then after the Red Iron Bridge 20 mins along the river, and the final 20 mins uphill on a bumpy road. We figured that if we returned the same way, well, this part would be tough.
- We asked a local passerby just before reaching the bridge if it was safe to cross, and he replied that it was. So we took a couple of shots, then we rode on the other bank of the river along a road. Thankfully we returned this way for it was mainly downhill and it's a national road.
- Overall, the cycling was relatively easy, about 16 km for 2 hours. On a cool day it's worth it, but I think the bridge means something to them but not to us.
