About the Region

Discover Hiroshima's Coastal Culture

Crossed by the Onomichi Waterfront, the city of Onomichi developed as an important maritime hub and remains one of Hiroshima’s most fascinating destinations. The city is known today for its hillside streets, historic homes, and maritime history, offering visitors not just a blend of local culture framed by tranquil waterfront scenery but also a quieter pace of life.

Exploring One of Japan's Most Celebrated Cycling Routes

Stretching approximately 70 kilometers between Onomichi and Imabari (Ehime Prefecture), the Shimanami Kaido links a series of islands across the Seto Inland Sea. Panoramic bridge crossings, island communities, and local specialties have made it one of Japan’s most renowned destinations for bike lovers. While cycling is optional during this stay, the route remains an essential part of the region’s identity.

Maritime heritage reimagined as a contemporary shopping and hotel complex

* This plan does not include cycling activities or bike rentals. You may arrange cycling independently using the hotel’s rental bicycle service, which offers cross bikes for casual rides and road bikes for more experienced cyclists.

A Stay with a Sense of Place

An Interior Designed Around Travel, Movement, and Relaxation

Located within ONOMICHI U2, HOTEL CYCLE was designed with cyclists in mind while remaining welcoming to all travelers. The interiors favor natural materials and understated design, incorporating furnishings connected to local industries and elements that reflect Onomichi's character. Bicycle-friendly features, including in-room bike storage and cycle hangers, reinforce the hotel’s unique identity as a gateway to the Shimanami Kaido.

Cycling culture is integrated throughout the ONOMICHI U2 complex

Spaces That Reflect the Rhythm of Onomichi

HOTEL CYCLE offers 28 guestrooms and three room types: Standard, Superior Twin, and the Deluxe Twin. Each room combines functionality with a calm ambiance and a range of amenities for a more relaxing stay. Of special interest is the hotel’s unique roomwear made from artisanal denim produced in the Bingo region of Hiroshima. It’s a great attire to slip into and relax in after a day spent exploring the region.

Discover Hiroshima Beyond the Crowds

HOTEL CYCLE offers more than a place to spend the night. Its location inside a renovated waterfront warehouse places guests within a setting shaped by Onomichi’s rich maritime past while providing direct access to the culture and cuisine of the Seto Inland Sea. The accommodations are an integral part of the destination rather than an escape from the world.

A seamless transition from refined interior comfort to a stunning, intimate waterfront experience.

The stay also highlights how deeply cycling is woven into the region without requiring guests to participate in the activity themselves. Combined with locally inspired amenities and seasonal dining, the hotel presents a new perspective on Hiroshima, one focused on coastal scenery, craftsmanship, island culture, and a slower rhythm of life.
