A Hotel in Japan Caters to Bicycling Tourists

photo_hotelcycle_0113photo_hotelcycle_01International cyclists touring Japan and on the lookout for a hotel catering to two-wheelers can book a room at Hotel Bicycle. Yes, that’s its name and its location in Onomichi, Japan, takes advantage of an area popular with cyclists.

The city is famous for its many temples, especially the Buddhist Senko-ji Temple founded in the ninth century. Add a 70-kilometer bicycle route that connects Japan’s main Island of Honshu to the island of Shikoku, in the Seto Inland Sea draws customers to the hotel. The route separated from the expressway passes over six small islands via a set of bridges. See more photos of Japan’s bicycle paths, bridges and scenery here.
