Located on Onomichi’s waterfront boardwalk next to the Shimanami Japan rental bike terminal, a short distance from Onomichi Station and the ferry that transports you to and from the start of the Shimanami Kaido on Mukaishima Island, U2 is a must-visit spot. Housed in a beautifully repurposed warehouse, this unique facility is designed with cyclists in mind, offering a seamless blend of convenience and style.

U2 features everything a cyclist could wish for, from bike-friendly accommodations at Hotel Cycle, complete with in-room bike racks, to a pro-level Giant bike shop for rentals, repairs, and expert advice. After a day of cycling, unwind at the on-site café, bakery, or restaurant, where you can savor locally inspired dishes made with fresh ingredients from the Setouchi region.

For those looking to bring a piece of Onomichi home, the stylish boutique showcases artisanal goods and souvenirs. Whether you’re gearing up for the Shimanami Kaido or taking a well-deserved break, U2 offers a welcoming space to relax, recharge, and experience the vibrant cycling culture of Onomichi.
