Exploring Ojika Island by Bicycle

Ojika Island is part of the Goto Islands of Nagasaki Japan. With approximately 2,500 residents on the island, traditional small alleyways and untouched beauty, it is often referred to as a glimpse into what Japan used to be.




One of the best ways to explore the island is via bicycle. As the island is a little hilly, if you would like to make your life a little easier, I would suggest getting an electric bike. It's just enough to give the uphill starts that little extra push to propel you forwards.



Shimayadogoen offers free push bikes and electric bikes for a small fee.



When you arrive for your stay, there are maps at the entrance.They show you all of the main places to visit on the island and the approximate cycling times to get there.
