The bus and train teams battle once again, this time in Ehime Prefecture. They will race from Dogo Onsen to Korakuen in Okayama, one of Japan's three greatest parks. They are each given 10,000 yen to spend on taxis, ferries and renting bicycles over the two days. They must clear four checkpoints and the first team to reach the second checkpoint gets a bonus prize.
The bus team goes to Dogo Onsen Station and decides to head towards Imabari City, the gateway to Shimanami Kaido. They enquire at the information centre and find out there is a direct bus to Imabari at 9.15am. The train team also goes to Dogo Onsen Station and takes an Iyotetsu tram to JR Matsuyama Station.
The only road connecting the islands of Shimanami Kaido is a highway. The bus team is not allowed to take highway buses. So they decide that they will later walk along Shimanami Kaido to the first checkpoint, Yoshiumi Ikiikikan. They first alight at the Imabari Prefectural Hospital bus stop and then catch the 10.55am bus to Takabe, the stop nearest to Shimanami Kaido. It is about 8km away from the first checkpoint at Oshima.
The bus team arrives at Oshima first at 12.15pm but then sees the train team on bicycles. The train team quickly passes the bus team and reaches the checkpoint ahead of them. Yoshiumi Ikiikikan, a roadside station with a spectacular view of Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge, is a popular spot for charcoal-grilled dishes made with fresh seafood from the Seto Inland Sea. The teams’ mission here is to eat and guess the seafood from Ehime Prefecture that impressed haiku poet Masaoka Shiki.
