Former Kure Naval Enlisted Officers Assembly Hall (Aoyama Club)
▲There was a building that appeared in the anime movie “In This Corner of the World”. I was passing by without knowing it, but I saw the painting on the building and the movie in advance, so I noticed it with a feeling of “Ah!”.

▲Hiroshima okonomiyaki shops are lined up like a stall village. I was having a hard time deciding which restaurant to go to, but I heard people say, “Wherever you eat, we’ll be together, come over to my house.” We visited early in the morning, so there weren’t many customers, but it would be crowded during peak hours.
▲Noodles were also included, and it was very delicious with volume.
I just happened to visit, but the atmosphere was good and the okonomiyaki was delicious. I would like to visit again when I come to Hiroshima.
