"Ban-ya Kouro" is a popular bakery that is supported by locals and tourists alike. The retro atmosphere of the store blends in well with the Onomichi cityscape and attracts the hearts of visitors. Inside the store, a wide variety of breads, including sliced ​​bread, hard bread, sweet bread, and savory bread, are lined up in a small space, so you may have trouble deciding which one to choose.

The biggest thing about Pan-ya Kouro is the large wood-fired oven installed in the store. The bread baked slowly in this wood-fired oven has a unique texture that is crispy and fragrant on the outside and moist on the inside. The far-infrared effect unique to wood-fired ovens brings out the flavor of the bread to the maximum, making it an unforgettable taste once you have tried it. The freshly baked aroma fills the store, whetting your appetite.

One way to enjoy your stroll around Onomichi is to stop by and find your favorite bread. It is also recommended to enjoy the bread you purchased on a bench while looking at the Onomichi Channel. It opens early in the morning, so it's also a good place to have breakfast.

It's a small shop, so the inside is packed.

The croissants are popular, but all of the breads are delicious and have a unique twist to them.

[Helpful store]
The freshly baked breads are most abundant in the early hours right after opening. They may run out of stock in the afternoon, so if there's a particular bread you're looking for, we recommend coming early.
There are two parking spaces along the national road behind the store.
