Luggage Transport
Generally speaking, the smoothest way to arrange luggage transport is for you to make your own arrangements with a specialized carrier, such as Yamato or Sagawa. If your accommodation doesn’t have a partnership with them, or if you’re unsure how to use their services, we’ll be happy to assist you.
If you want your package delivered the next day
At most hotels in Japan, you can have your luggage sent to your next hotel by the following day. You can check the estimated delivery time on the YAMATO or SAGAWA websites. Even if your hotel doesn’t offer this service, you can still send your luggage from a nearby branch office, convenience store, or post office.
Please try contacting the hotel first.
If you want to ship your package the same day
Along the Shimanami Kaido, many hotels have partnered with service companies such as PIKURAKU or SAGAWA to offer same-day luggage delivery.
Please refer to the article below to find out if your hotel offers this service and what delivery options are available.
If you want to send a package the same day to a hotel that doesn't partner with a major delivery service
If you want to send luggage the same day to accommodations that do not partner with delivery services—such as small guesthouses or hotels located off the main route—we will deliver it directly from our store to your accommodation, or from one accommodation to another. Please add the following items to your cart.
Emergency Resque
We offer free 24-hour chat support via WhatsApp.
We’ll also provide you with a repair kit free of charge, but if that doesn’t solve the problem, you can receive direct pickup support from us or assistance from a local bicycle taxi service, though there is a fee.

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.
