🚴♂️ 20251012 日本單車環四國認證 12 日 + 島波海道 D10
Heat. Heat. Hey, hey, hey. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Woo! Woo!
宇和島 → 松山市（回到 0KM 起點）📏 本日總里程：約 113 公里
清晨的宇和島仍籠罩在淡淡雲霧中，這是環四國旅程的最後一天。
經過連續九天翻山越嶺、穿隧道、望大海的旅程，今天，我們將從宇和島出發，一路北上經伊予市，回到九天前啟程的愛媛縣廳「四國一周 0KM 起點碑」。那是一場完結，也是一次圓滿的重生。
從宇和島出發，晨霧未散，海岸線的光影漸漸明朗。沿途穿越津島與大洲，景色由山谷轉為濱海。第一個停靠點是 道の駅とんとん館，以豬肉料理聞名，車友們在此短暫休息補給。再度起騎後，經過靜謐的山村 わら，青翠的山巒層疊，稻穗搖曳，清晨的風像歌一樣。
中午前抵達 長濱大橋——全日本僅存可水平旋轉開啟的橋樑。當橋面緩緩轉動、船隻穿行而過，海風捲起衣角，也提醒著我們：旅程的終章正在展開。
午餐在當地人氣食堂享用日式定食，米飯、鯛魚生魚片、味噌湯——簡單卻充滿溫度。午後繼續前行，海岸線與鐵道時而交錯、時而並行。天氣放晴，陽光灑在瀨戶內海上，波光閃閃，如同在替騎士們打氣。
午後，我們抵達 下灘車站（Shimonada Station），這個無人小站被譽為「日本最靠海的車站」。從月台望出去，鐵軌筆直地通向大海，藍天、海浪與夕陽構成最夢幻的畫面。這裡不僅是鐵道迷與攝影師的朝聖地，也多次登上青春18車票的宣傳海報。陽光在海面上閃耀，浪花在腳邊綻放，站在那張長椅前，每個人都靜靜凝望——彷彿能聽見時間的聲音，也看見自己旅程的倒影。
夕陽傾斜時，車隊進入松山市區。遠遠看見縣廳前那熟悉的「0KM 起點碑」，那一刻，掌聲、笑聲與淚水幾乎同時湧出。日本主辦方早已準備好花環，為每位完成認證的車友一一致上。這不只是終點，更是夢想的印記——象徵著跨越四國、征服山海的精神。
十天以來，將近一千公里的挑戰，不論是雨中的堅持、烈日下的喘息，
都在這一刻化作溫柔的力量，留存在每個人的記憶中。
這趟旅程，不僅是體力的考驗，更是一場心靈的修行。我們用雙輪丈量四國的土地，也用心感受每一座城鎮的溫度——從高知的海風到愛媛的夕陽，從德島的山嶺到香川的烏龍香氣。每一段路都有故事，每一次呼吸都寫滿意義。
花環掛在胸前的瞬間，我們明白：終點，不是結束，而是下一段冒險的開始。
🚴♂️ Oct 12, 2025｜Japan Shikoku Island Cycling Certification 12-Day Tour + Shimanami Kaido D10
Uwajima → Matsuyama (Returning to the 0KM Starting Point)
📏 Total Distance: Approx. 113 km
The morning mist still lingered over Uwajima — the final day of our grand journey around Shikoku.
After nine days of climbing mountains, crossing tunnels, and chasing coastlines, today we would ride north through Iyo City, returning to where it all began — the 0KM starting marker in front of the Ehime Prefectural Office.
It was not just an ending, but a beautiful rebirth.
From Uwajima, the dawn was soft, and the coastline shimmered in the early light. Riding through Tsushima and Ozu, the scenery gradually transformed — from misty valleys to sunlit seaside roads.
Our first stop was Michi-no-Eki Ton Ton-kan, famous for its hearty pork dishes, where we took a short break and shared laughter over coffee and snacks.
Back on the bikes, we passed the quiet mountain hamlet of Wara, surrounded by endless layers of green hills and golden rice fields swaying gently in the morning breeze.
By midday, we reached Nagahama Bridge, Japan’s only surviving horizontal rotating bridge. As it slowly turned to let ships pass beneath, the sea wind fluttered our jackets — a gentle reminder that our journey was nearing its final chapter.
Lunch was a simple yet heartwarming Japanese set meal — rice, fresh tai (sea bream) sashimi, and miso soup. Afterward, the route followed the coast, where the railway and road wove together in a dance of steel and sea. The sky cleared, and sunlight sparkled across the Seto Inland Sea like scattered diamonds — cheering us on toward the finish.
In the afternoon, we arrived at Shimonada Station, an unmanned train stop often called the station closest to the ocean.
From the platform, the tracks run straight toward the horizon, with the blue sea and sky melting into one. This spot has appeared in countless films, dramas, and on JR’s Seishun 18 Ticket posters.
Under the soft sunlight, the waves shimmered and broke at our feet. Everyone stood quietly by the iconic wooden bench — listening to the rhythm of time and reflecting on the memories of the past ten days.
As the sun began to sink, the team rode into Matsuyama.
In the distance, the familiar monument came into view — the 0KM Starting Point of Shikoku.
At that moment, cheers, laughter, and tears burst out all at once. The Japanese organizers awaited us with floral garlands, placing one gently around each rider’s neck.
It wasn’t just the finish line — it was a symbol of dreams realized and mountains conquered.
After ten days and nearly a thousand kilometers, every drop of sweat, every breath of wind, every uphill struggle had transformed into quiet, radiant strength.
This wasn’t only a test of endurance — it was a journey of the soul.
We measured the land of Shikoku not just by kilometers, but by emotion — feeling the warmth of every town and the kindness of every encounter.
From Kochi’s ocean breeze to Ehime’s sunset, from Tokushima’s rugged mountains to Kagawa’s aroma of Sanuki udon — every moment told a story, every turn of the pedal carried meaning.
When the garland rested on our chests, we understood:
The finish line isn’t the end — it’s the beginning of the next adventure.
