Itinerary recommendations

Onomichi

The small harbour town of Onomichi is a recommended visit, it was the inspiration for the Ghibli movie Ponyo on the cliffs, has some amazing local Ramen soup and it is very pleasant to just scroll around. This is also the start point of the Shimanami-kaido.

Matsuyama and Dogo Onsen

Take the train or ferry to Matsuyama, famous for the Dogo Onsen.
