Those are red-eared sliders, and are invasive from North America.

1 year agoIf you haven't already found it, the website of Shimanami Guesthouse Cyclonoie in Imabari is a treasure trove of info for the Shimanami Kaido and Tobishima Kaido cycle routes. It's also a nice place to stay, with indoor parking for the trikes, and a discount coupon for the onsen.
Be sure to stop at the "cyclist sanctuary" at the michi no eki located mid way between Imabari and Onomichi. The lemon soft creme there was the best of my trip.
Hi Ron,
Thanks for the heads up about Goto Island. We are really looking forward to explore the islands off Kyushu. Glad to hear about your experience in Japan. One week to go before we fly!
That nice (and unusual!) to be able to bring your bike in your cabin on the ferry!
