Okonomimura

A tourist attraction in Hiroshima with 23 okonomiyaki restaurants. Okonomimura is full of delicious restaurants! ! The current building was completed in 1992. It has a history of 40 years since the days when it was crowded with stalls in the park. After the war, the 50 okonomiyaki stalls that gathered in Shintenchi Square in the center of Hiroshima City were full of passion and humanity for the reconstruction of the city. Minoru Kida, an author who saw this lively scene centered on okonomiyaki, said, "It looks just like Okonomimura," which is the origin of the name "Okonomiyaki Village." When the plaza became a park in 1963, the food stalls were evacuated, and the two-story prefabricated store "Okonomimura" built in front of the park became famous nationwide.
