About the Bakery

Hello there!
This is Gussan, your Sarukuma travel writer!

Today I’d like to introduce you to
Pan Koubou Ozaki, a charming little bakery located in
Kohara, Nankan Town, Tamana District, Kumamoto Prefecture.
The parking lot is conveniently located right in front of the shop.

There’s also additional parking for Pan Koubou Ozaki
right across from the main lot in front of the store.
A spacious, easy-to-enter parking lot really takes the stress out of stopping by, doesn’t it?
Right at the entrance, you’ll spot a wonderful surprise — a complimentary coffee station.
Now that’s the kind of welcome that instantly puts a smile on your face!

There are cozy two-person tables, plus
a four-person table, and even a bench for extra seating!
Plenty of room to settle in and enjoy your bread 😊
The little touches of greenery scattered around add a soothing, peaceful vibe.
Step inside the snug, charming shop and you’ll find dozens of varieties of bread lined up beautifully.
