Hattendo Village

Hattendo Village in Mihara, Hiroshima Prefecture, is a bakery-themed park built around the famous Hattendo brand, beloved across Japan for its signature cream-filled pastries known as 'kurimu pan.' Visitors can participate in hands-on bread-making workshops where they learn to shape and fill their own cream buns under the guidance of the bakery's staff. The village complex includes a factory tour where you can watch the production process through glass walls, a cafe serving freshly baked goods and Hattendo-exclusive flavors, and a shop stocking the full range of their products. Set amid green space with playgrounds and picnic areas, it makes for an enjoyable family outing combining culinary education with outdoor relaxation.
