With the goal of (eventually) visiting every island in the Seto Inland Sea, I set out last weekend on an island explorer trip. (For the record, I've only visited 28 out of about 200!)
My partner and I loaded bicycles onto our Japanese fishing boat and set the GPS for 134 degrees 17 minutes east and 34 degrees 28 minutes north.
We were headed for Shodoshima, an island in Kagawa Prefecture, which is the second-biggest island in the Seto Inland Sea after Awajishima. Shodoshima has a circumference of 126 km and a population of around 35,000.
