A facility where you can learn about the history and culture of okonomiyaki and even experience making your own.

The name "Wood" combines the "Egg" (of okonomiyaki) with the "Wood" (of okonomiyaki) to express consideration for the global environment.
The distinctive round exterior evokes the "circle" of okonomiyaki and the "harmony" of gathering.
We share information about okonomiyaki, Hiroshima's signature food culture, with people of all ages and regions.

The "Okono Museum" on the second floor is a museum full of curiosity and discovery, where you can experience the history and culture of okonomiyaki.
(Tours are available without reservations for groups of 10 or fewer.)

In the "Kitchen Studio" on the third floor, you can learn the secrets of making okonomiyaki at home.

The "Okonomiyaki Training Center" on the fourth floor uses professional equipment to cultivate professional skills and attitudes and supports the opening of okonomiyaki restaurants.

In the "Experience Studio" in the annex, you can make okonomiyaki with an instructor on a professional teppan (hot plate) just like the ones used in okonomiyaki restaurants.

The "Showroom" in the annex offers a wide selection of Otafuku original goods, including sauces and limited-edition souvenir and gift sets.
