Onomichi ramen shop beloved of locals and visitors alike, right next to Onomichi station.

Located right next to the Onomichi Station Cycle Terminal, Ramen Tani is an easy and satisfying stop for cyclists and travelers beginning or ending their journey along the Shimanami Kaido. Its convenient location makes it especially popular with riders looking for a hearty local meal without straying far from the station.

The interior is spacious, clean, and well-kept, with plenty of seating compared to many small ramen shops in Onomichi. Despite the comfort and openness, the atmosphere remains firmly local. This is not a tourist-oriented shop, but a place where neighborhood regulars stop in for a familiar bowl, giving visitors a genuine taste of everyday Onomichi food culture.

Ramen Tani is best known for its classic Onomichi ramen, featuring a soy-based broth enriched with chicken and seafood flavors, topped with floating back fat that adds depth without being heavy. Flat noodles, tender chashu pork, and simple toppings complete a bowl that feels traditional, balanced, and deeply satisfying. The flavors are bold but approachable, making it a great introduction to Onomichi-style ramen. If you are especially hungry, don't worry. Popular side dishes, such as gyoza and stir-fried rice are also available.

For cyclists, the combination of generous portions, quick service, and a relaxed setting makes Ramen Tani an ideal refueling stop. If you want to eat where locals eat—without sacrificing comfort or convenience—this long-running favorite is well worth a visit.
