Staying At The Pre-Tour Hotel?

Guests staying at the designated New Osaka Hotel before the tour do not need to travel back to Kansai Airport for the tour start. Please follow the hotel collection and meeting instructions below.

Pre-Tour Hotel Guests

If you are staying at the New Osaka Hotel before the tour, we have arranged a simple process for your bike box and your journey to Onomichi.

Friday 2 October, Bike Box Collection

We will collect your bike boxes from the New Osaka Hotel on the evening of Friday 2 October.

The bike boxes will then be transferred separately by van to Onomichi, ready for your arrival.

Our staff will coordinate the exact collection time with you through the tour WhatsApp group.

Travelling To Onomichi

After breakfast, we will meet in the lobby of the New Osaka Hotel at 10.00am and travel together by train to Onomichi with our fellow guests arriving from Kansai International Airport.

Travelling by train is much quicker and more comfortable than making the long journey by bus, and your bike boxes will already be on their way separately by van.

Important

The hotel collection and group departure are only available from the designated New Osaka Hotel. If you are staying elsewhere in Osaka, please contact the Bikestyle Tours team through the WhatsApp group so we can confirm your meeting arrangements.

Tour WhatsApp Group

Please join the tour WhatsApp group before arrival day. We will use the group for live updates, arrival information, bike-box collection timing and important communication throughout the tour.
