Honda has opened the first Japanese location of its new shop concept, "Cub HOUSE." Born in Thailand in 2018 as a lifestyle-focused retail concept, the name stands for the initials of Culture, Unique, and Bikes. Centered on Class-2 mopeds like the Monkey 125, Grom, and Super Cub 110, it aims to be a space for sharing the riding experience.

Hearing that a place like this exists makes me genuinely happy. Motorcycles belong to everyone who wants to ride them. Precisely because it's a hub for enjoying culture rather than just a dealership, anyone can casually stop by, regardless of gender or generation. I hope that kind of atmosphere spreads.

125cc-class bikes are easy to get into, running costs included, so more of these entry points is genuinely a good thing.

Building a store that goes this deep on 125cc bikes might inspire other manufacturers to follow suit soon.

A shop with the Monkey 125, Grom, and Super Cub all lined up together sounds fun just to picture.

Calling it a place to share the experience is nice, but it's still ultimately part of a store rollout, so how much it really becomes a culture is uncertain.

So it stands for Culture Unique Bikes - first time I've learned where the name comes from.

Cub House finally landing in Japan. Probably a lot of people didn't know it started in Thailand first.
