非常に長い距離とアップダウンのある海沿いの景色がいいルートです。姫路駅の南口を出発し、たつの市の道の駅御津を目指します。道の駅御津までは、地方の市街地を走るような風景が延々と続きます。道の駅御津からは、コンビニすらなくなるので補給食を忘れずに。
道の駅御津を越えると室津までは国道250号線の一本道です。室津の集落は古くからの瀬戸内海の集落で、趣がある場所ですので、ポタリングしましょう。室津を出ると、万葉岬が近いです。散策路の整備された万葉岬は家島や、小豆島など瀬戸内海東部を一望できます。
万葉岬を越えると、相生市街に入っていきます。道の駅相生があるので、休憩にはもってこいです。
相生から赤穂までは国道250号線をひたすら走ります。途中坂越の集落があるので、体力と時間がある人は寄ってみてください。また、兵庫県立赤穂海浜公園とかも寄り道にはいいところです。赤穂で戻る場合は、両方よれますが、日生まで行くと時間的に厳しくなるかもしれません。
赤穂市街は、整備された赤穂城址や大石神社など、忠臣蔵関連の遺産がたくさんあります。
赤穂を離れ、再度国道250号線に戻り備前市の日生に向かいます。兵庫県と岡山県の県境を越えるあたりは上り坂が続きます。日生エリアに入ると日生大橋を渡り鹿久居島へ、さらに頭島大橋を渡り頭島へ。鹿久居島の方が面積は大きいですが、人口は頭島の方が多いようですね。頭島で、たぬき山展望台に登ると、まさに絶景でした。帰りは再度橋を渡り、日生駅からの帰還です。
トータルで約75km、走行時間は5時間35分、経過時間は8時間15分でした。
After passing Cape Manyo, you will enter Aioi city. There is a roadside station Aioi, so it's perfect for a break.
From Aioi to Ako, run on Route 250. There is a village of Sakoshi on the way, so if you have physical strength and time, please stop by. Hyogo Prefectural Ako Seaside Park is also a good place to stop by. If you return from Ako, you can do both, but if you go to Hinase, it may be tight in terms of time.
The city of Ako has many heritage sites related to Chushingura, such as the well-maintained ruins of Ako Castle and Oishi Shrine.
Leaving Ako, return to Route 250 again and head for Hinase in Bizen City. The uphill continues around the border between Hyogo and Okayama prefectures. When you enter the Hinase area, cross the Hinase Ohashi Bridge to Kakui Island, and then cross the Kashirima Ohashi Bridge to Kashirima Island. Kakuijima has a larger area, but Kashirima has a larger population. When I climbed the Tanukiyama observatory on Kashirashima, it was just a superb view. On the way back, cross the bridge again and return from Hinase Station.
The total distance was about 75 km, the running time was 5 hours 35 minutes, and the elapsed time was 8 hours 15 minutes.
