Shimanami Kaido Bike Storage

Is there any places that stores bikes for at least a week?

I'll be visiting the island of Shikoku. My main reason I'm going there is to bike the Shimanami Kaido. I have thought about renting a bike, but I want to exhaust all options of me bring my bike before renting. My concern is I'll be in various parts of Shikoku for multiple days (Ehime, Matsuyama, Kagawa, Tokushima, Kochi) and was wondering if there are places that actually stores your bike.

I don't want to be rude and create nuisances carrying my bike around and would rather prefer to store my bike once I'm done with the Shimanami Kaido.

Thanks for your time

Japanese versions of songs

I've been studying Japanese. And music has helped me tremendously. I love finding Japanese versions of songs. Some of my favorites are Country Road and Careless Whisper for American songs and Multo for Filipino song.

Please recommend any I should listen to!

In September 2025, I visited Hakodate. While enjoying a delicious bowl of curry soup, popular in Hokkaido. The restaurant was playing a Japanese song that was so catchy, I instantly Shazaam it. I listened to it almost everyday since.

Fast forward to and I returned to Japan in February 2026. This time I mainly stayed in Yokohama, Kawasaki, and Kamakura. Almost every record store I went to, no one heard or knew who this group was. It took me 16 stores until I found a little shop with and elderly couple who were surprise someone like me knew this group (I'm 39, asian-american).

I wish it was a record, but I'll take a CD with bonus features as win too. 😄
