Renovated waterfront warehouse in Onomichi combining hotel, gallery, cafe, and cycling hub along the Shimanami Kaido.
Onomichi U2 is a renovated waterfront warehouse on Onomichi's harbor that has been transformed into a cyclist-friendly complex combining a hotel, restaurant, cafe, bar, gallery, and cycle shop. Originally a maritime warehouse, the space was redesigned by Suppose Design Office as the gateway to the Shimanami Kaido cycling route. The venue hosts rotating art exhibitions and serves as a cultural hub for the creative revival of Onomichi's hillside port town.
