Cycle Gear Stand Room

The "town-center" hotel that gets you excited, "OMO7 Asahikawa by Hoshino Resorts," will begin offering the "Asahikawa Panorama Rinpaku" plan from June 1 to October 31, 2026, allowing guests to bring their beloved bicycles into their rooms and enjoy spectacular cycling with views of the Daisetsuzan Asahidake mountain range. Asahikawa City, located in central Hokkaido, is a base city with good access to Furano and Biei. It is a nature-rich city with the "Daisetsuzan Mountain Range," the highest mountains in Hokkaido, and 162 rivers of various sizes. Along the Ishikari and Chubetsu Rivers that flow through the city, cycling roads have been developed on the vast riverbeds, allowing visitors to easily enjoy cycling through the majestic nature. OMO7 Asahikawa, which offers a wealth of services for cyclists, sells "Cycle Gear Stand Rooms" where guests can stay with their bikes, in addition to "Cycle-In," which allows guests to bring their bicycles into the hotel lobby for check-in. Furthermore, the hotel provides a "Cycle Base" for the sale of maintenance tools and cyclist items, and a "Cycle Dry Space" where bicycles and helmets can be dried and stored, supporting a comfortable stay for cyclists.

Background

Hokkaido, with its vast nature and seamless straight roads, is highly regarded as a sacred place by cyclists from Japan and abroad. In March 2026, Hokkaido formulated the "3rd Hokkaido Bicycle Utilization Promotion Plan," which includes safe and secure bicycle use, as well as use for health, environment, tourism, and disaster situations. As part of its tourism efforts, the plan promotes the development of attractive cycle tourism (*). In response, OMO7 Asahikawa has devised this "cyclist-first" plan that maximizes the convenience of Asahikawa, a base city in northern Hokkaido. The hotel fully supports everything from the storage of your precious bike to its maintenance, providing a comfortable and secure scenic cycling trip.
