In Hiroshima, there are around 1400 “okonomiyaki” restaurants, but the famous ones are always crowded. You will be guided to a locally loved restaurant that is not well known by tourists. (This means you won’t have to wait in line.)


Discovered a hidden unexplored temple in the city:

Witness the gorgeous waterfalls and fascinating monks in training at Mitaki temple. Since we use electric bicycles for this tour, it is easy to reach the temple which is located on the top of a mountain, away from urban areas. 


Travel around Hiroshimas rivers:

Cycle leisurely around the riverside! Hiroshima evolved from a river delta and therefore has many bridges. You will be guided to a variety of bridges, starting from the Kyobashi bridge which endured the atomic bombing. Each bridge as a unique view of the city.

【Fun Facts】

The word “okonomiyaki” comes from the idea that you can add the things you like to the dish. It’s been around since Sengoku period (1467-1615). Originally, it was a type of sweet, but it changed to staple food during the Meiji era (1868-1912) because it can be eaten immediately after cooking. 

The difference between typical “okonomiyaki” and Hiroshima “okonomiyaki” is the addition of Chinese noodles.
