What other travelers are saying about Hiroshima Castle
A stunningly faithful reproduction of the original castle you couldn't take a bad photograph of even if you tried. The timber cladded castle glowed with such grace and warmth in the setting evening sun. There's a token fee for access to a museum space inside as well as a viewing deck at the top of the castle. The views from above was breathtaking with a clear sightline view of the atomic bombed structure. Last entry into the castle was 530pm on the day we visited. Don't skip this attraction when you visit.
A really beautiful place to visit if you have time, with cherry blossoms everywhere. A symbolic place, with middle school and below getting in for free. Has around 5 floors with many items preserved and kept safely. Thank you Hiroshima Castle for a fantastic experience.
Very well organised, the exhibition on culture and life of Hiroshima is worth seeing. The view from the roof top was great , can see the beautiful scenery and city architecture from different directions. The pound and lake was also beautifully decorated , fishes looks so nice around
This is a reconstruction of the original as the wooden structures were destroyed by the bomb. The high ground of the castle remains an imposing position as demonstrated by the new build. The grounds of the castle, with its multiple moats, are well fortified and has now become a nice gathering area for visitors. Overall, a nice place to visit and sometimes shadowed by the other "atomic" related destinations.
I will rate this bases on just the outside of the castle. I wasn’t able to see the inside of the castle due to lack of time that I have in Hiroshima, but the outside view of the castle has a fantastic architectural design. This is the fist castle that I saw that was made from woods. The surrounding area of the castle is a nice park. Near to castle you will also find a wonderful shrine where you can buy some good luck charms.
From this place everyplace that is just walking distance. Like peace museum and a lot more.
