Akinada Tobishima Kaido — Kure to Okamura Island.
The quieter island-hopping cousin of the famous Shimanami Kaido. Seven bridges link a chain of Geiyo islands across the Seto Inland Sea from Kawajiri in Kure to Okamura Island on the Ehime border, running mostly along the coast with constant sea views. The highlight is the preserved Edo-era port town of Mitarai. Tolls are charged only at the Akinada Ohashi bridge; the rest is free.

The route.
Kure (Kawajiri)Start · Fuel up in Kure. The Kaido proper begins at Kawajiri; the only toll on the whole chain is the Akinada Ohashi onto the first island.
Shimo-Kamagari & Akinada OhashiScenic Point · First bridge and island. Shotoen garden and the Rankan-jima views set the tone for the Inland Sea crossing.
ToyoshimaRestaurant · A working fishing island midway along the chain — a good spot for a seafood lunch before the final bridges.
Mitarai, OsakishimojimaPhoto Spot · A preserved Edo-period port town, now a Japan Heritage site: teahouse ruins, a 1937 theatre and stone lanterns on the old harbour.
Okamura IslandEnd · The current terminus of the road, just over the Ehime line. Mikan orchards and butterflies; the arch of the Okamura Great Bridge closes the ride.
