Okonomi-mura

Okonomi-mura is a tourist attraction in Hiroshima, with 23 okonomiyaki restaurants. There are many delicious restaurants in Okonomi-mura! The current building was completed in 1992. It has a history of 40 years since the days when the park was filled with food stalls. After the war, 50 okonomiyaki stalls gathered in Shintenchi Square in the center of Hiroshima City, and they were filled with passion and humanity for the reconstruction of the town. When writer Kida Minoru saw this lively scene centered around okonomiyaki, he said, "It's just like Okonomi-mura ," and that's how the name "Okonomi-mura" came about. When the square was turned into a park in 1963, the food stalls were evicted, and the two-story prefabricated store "Okonomi-mura" was built in front of the park. It became famous nationwide, and became a famous Hiroshima attraction crowded with local Carp supporters, students on school trips from all over the country, and general tourists. Okonomi-mura, which was reborn as a high-rise building in 1992, still has the same flavors, liveliness, and friendly atmosphere as when it first opened. *Business hours and holidays may change, so please contact each store for details.
