Mihara Station (三原駅)

From the moment passengers step off the train, tourism is instantly possible as the Mihara Castle Ruins are visible from the platform. Mihara Station forms part of the center of Mihara City, and as such, numerous stores and restaurants of interest are concentrated around here. Drop by one of the okonomiyaki joints in the middle of sightseeing for an exclusive Miharayaki, renowned for adding fresh chicken offal as a topping.

Despite countless ways to assemble okonomiyaki in Hiroshima Prefecture alone, Miharayaki is a one-of-a-kind recipe. As most of the places that serve it are around Mihara Station, visitors will be spoiled for choice, and eating at multiple establishments is definitely not out of the question. One recommended joint is Teppan 6, where you can watch a couple of local culinary artisans gracefully preparing chicken gizzards with a blowtorch while grilling up the rest of the meal.
