Okonomi-mura, often referred to as the "Okonomiyaki Village," is a culinary hotspot located in Hiroshima. This unique dining complex is dedicated entirely to Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, a savory pancake that is a beloved local specialty.

Situated in the heart of Hiroshima, Okonomi-mura houses numerous stalls spread across three floors, each offering its own version of this delicious dish. Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki is distinctive because it is made with layers of ingredients, including noodles, cabbage, pork, seafood, and is topped with a sweet-savory sauce. Watching the chefs skillfully prepare the dish on large griddles right in front of customers adds an entertaining and interactive element to the dining experience.

Okonomi-mura not only offers a taste of Hiroshima's local cuisine but also provides a lively and casual atmosphere where both locals and tourists can mingle. The variety of stalls means that each visitor can find a version of okonomiyaki that suits their taste, from classic recipes to more innovative variations.

What other travelers are saying about Okonomi-mura

The house was recommended to us by a Japanese man who had spoken to us on the Shinkansen. Otherwise we wouldn't have found it, even not on Google Maps. It's really cool here and the food is delicious. We were here on two different days. For vegetarians: meat or other ingredients can be omitted or added if required. There are also other purely vegetarian dishes.

Found out about this place after googling for a good okonomiyaki place to try out. Was surprised that there are actually quite a number of them all located within the same building. So it was great way to check it out and see what’s available. We were there late in the afternoon and some shops were still busy. Decided to try out the one shown on the picture. Good was definitely good and watching them do it right infront of you was a nice experience indeed. Highly recommended.

Amazing place and food! They also still seat people after 9:30pm. The food is like your mate who is an expert chef that is making the best late night feed. Probably not healthy but very tasty. Also the chef's are a lot of fun to watch. There are multiple floors, the second was busy so we went up to the 3rd in the lift. There are lots of tables and you wait nearby for one to free up.

Great place to try Okonomiyaki, while in Hiroshima, there are many different ones and it stretches from the 2nd til the 4th floor. The specific one we ate at was on the 3rd floor as you come in from the elevator. We came at kind of an off time so not all of the stalls were open. But the ladies who cooked for us were super friendly and had a menu with pictures and descriptions in English. Everyone was super kind and the food was delicious, I tried the spicy sauce as well and it wasn't super spicy but it was absolutely tasty! I recommend it!
