What is the Mitchan Sohonten Orizuru Tower store?

First, let's take a look at the basic information and features of the Orizuru Tower store.

Store Features

The Orizuru Tower store is located right next to the Peace Memorial Park and features an open space with a view of the Atomic Bomb Dome, a World Heritage Site.

Inside the restaurant, there are 16 seats at the long iron plate counter that "Micchan Souhonten" is proud of, 40 seats at tables, and 18 terrace seats. We recommend choosing a seat that suits your mood, whether you want to eat while chatting with the staff at the counter, or enjoy the outside air at the open terrace seats.

What kind of menu is there?

When it comes to okonomiyaki at "Micchan Souhonten," the standard is "soba meat and egg." Of course, you can eat it as is, but one way to enjoy it is to top it with your favorite ingredients such as squid or shrimp to make it your own. There are also okonomiyaki varieties such as "udon meat and egg," which replaces soba with udon, and "DX special," which is full of ingredients.

In addition to okonomiyaki, they also offer a variety of other menu items. You can enjoy dishes unique to Hiroshima, such as "Koune," "Hiroshima beef steak," and "yakigaki" (grilled oysters). Be sure to try the flavors of Hiroshima along with the okonomiyaki.

Recommended for takeout! Orizuru Tower rooftop observation deck

The rooftop observation deck of the Orizuru Tower store has a permanent take-out cafe where you can enjoy drinks made with local seasonal fruits.

There is also an observation space where you can bring in food and drinks from the building, and you can eat Micchan's okonomiyaki at the observation deck. Why not try okonomiyaki in an open space?

The appeal of the rooftop observation deck "Hiroshima Hills"

"Hiroshima Hill" is a wooden deck observation space on the rooftop of the "Orizuru Tower Store." It is surrounded by mesh and designed to allow the wind to pass right through, so you can directly feel the wind, sounds, and smells of Hiroshima. From the observation deck, you can see Hiroshima City, including the Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Dome. On a clear day, you can even see Mount Misen on Miyajima.

It's an open, spacious spot where you can not only enjoy okonomiyaki and light meals, but also take in the view of Hiroshima and relax.

Basic information about the rooftop observation deck "Hiroshima Hills"

Hiroshima Hills is open from 10:00 to 18:00, and is closed on December 31st. Please note that admission to the rooftop observation deck ends 30 minutes before closing.

You can take an elevator to Hiroshima Hill, located on the 12th floor rooftop, but we also recommend walking up the spiral slope, Stroll Hill. Stroll Hill is a nine-story spiral slope located on the east side of the Orizuru Tower. It's an area where you can go from the first floor to the rooftop as if you're taking a stroll, and you can enjoy the changing scenery as you go along, as well as wall art created by artists with ties to Hiroshima.

Also, when descending from the observation deck to the lower floor, it's fun to try sliding down the spiral slide called "Kurukurukuuru."

Where is Mitchan Sohonten's Orizuru Tower store located?

The Orizuru Tower Store, located right next to the Peace Memorial Park, is easily accessible by Hiroshima Electric Railway. If you get off at Hiroshima Electric Railway's Atomic Bomb Dome Station, you will see the store right in front of you. You can also access the store by car, but there is no dedicated parking lot, so please use the paid parking lots nearby.

The Orizuru Tower store is located on the first floor of the Orizuru Tower. The rooftop observation deck is in the same building, so even if you order takeout you can easily get there and enjoy piping hot okonomiyaki.

Enjoy takeaway okonomiyaki at the rooftop observation deck

When the eat-in seats at Mitchan Sohonten "Orizuru Tower Branch" are full, we recommend taking out. The okonomiyaki you can enjoy while taking in the atmospheric view of Hiroshima on the open rooftop observation deck is exceptional. There are fun things to do inside the tower, so you can enjoy them while taking a walk.

Besides the rooftop observation deck of Orizuru Tower, takeaway food and drinks are also available at Hiroshima Gate Park. If you are visiting Hiroshima for sightseeing, be sure to try some takeaway okonomiyaki from Mitchan Souhonten.
