Service & Philosophy
One Rider at a Time
We are not a mass-market rental shop. We are a partner for your journey.
The Shimanami Kaido is a world-class cycling paradise, but to truly unlock its potential—to conquer every island, ascend every panoramic viewpoint, and feel the rush of the sea breeze without compromise—you need more than just a bicycle. You need a perfect machine and a team that understands the rider’s soul.
The Sanctuary on Mukaishima
Our base is located on Mukaishima Island, just a short ferry ride across the channel from Onomichi Station. While the station area is often chaotic with tourists, our location is a quiet sanctuary. Here, away from the crowds, we take the time to conduct a meticulous fitting, ensuring your bike feels like an extension of your body before you take your first pedal stroke.
Master Mechanic & Premium Fleet
We offer the finest fleet on the route, ranging from high-performance Carbon Road Bikes to Full-Suspension MTBs and top-tier E-Road/E-MTBs. Every bike is maintained by our lead mechanic, a master craftsman with over a decade of experience running a pro shop in Kyoto. We don’t just “rent” bikes; we provide machines tuned to perfection, comparable to what you ride at home—or better.
Total Freedom & Concierge Support We believe you should focus solely on the ride and the breathtaking views. That is why we offer comprehensive support:
Support Car & Luggage Transfer: We move your bags to your hotel so you can ride light.
One-Way Drop-off: Finish your ride at Ikuchijima or even Hiroshima Station.
Full Customization: From pannier bags to SPD pedals, we cater to every preference.
For the cyclist who seeks quality over quantity, and who wants to explore the depths of the Seto Inland Sea with zero stress: We are your only choice.
