Central Hiroshima and Okonomiyaki (Local Food) Tour
Joined 2015
First up, I bring you to Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. Hiroshima is well known as the first city in the world history, that was atomic bombed. You may walk and drop by at many spots built to commemorate those who perished in those days and learn more at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. After that study tour, we roam around Central Hiroshima (the busiest street for shopping) and finally arrive at Okonomiyaki restaurant for early supper. Okonomiyaki is Hiroshima's soul food; a savory pancake filled with chopped vegetables, meat, sea food, noodle, egg and whatever you want, even cheese... Actually this is the origin of the name of Okonomiyaki, since Okonomi literally means "as you like" and yaki means grilled. Fun to see how to make on a huge iron plate and exciting to eat with a special tool (Kote). Just give it a try.

“Thank you Mayumi”
We really enjoyed meeting Mayumi - she took us on a 2 hour tour of the Peace Museum, taught our kids how to make origami cranes and showed us around the grounds. She was very informative and friendly. We'd recommend her!

(142 reviews)Dear Lucia, Thanks so much, too, for a delightful tour with your charming family. It looks very hot and humid again today, though. I hope you will enjoy your visit to Naoshima. The weather in Tokyo next week is not looking so good, but a blessed rain could be better than extreme heat. Thank you very much. Best, Mayumi
