Beautiful garden and one of the major attractions in the Hiroshima area. Also recommend checking out the museum (entrance fee is separate). Great place to relax and catch the cherry blossoms if you come at the right season. A ton of fun with the carp feeding and beautiful flowers throughout the year.
A peaceful and beautifully maintained garden, perfect for a relaxing stroll. The landscape is carefully designed, featuring a central pond, small bridges, and lush greenery that change with the seasons.
The garden offers a quiet escape from the city's hustle, with well-kept paths leading through scenic spots. It’s a great place to enjoy nature, take photos, or simply sit and appreciate the surroundings. A lovely spot for those who enjoy traditional Japanese gardens and a calming atmosphere.
The entrance fee is 260 yen as of March 2025, making it an affordable and worthwhile visit.
Originally designed in the 17th century, the garden draws inspiration from miniature landscapes and stands as a refined example of a traditional Japanese strolling garden. At its center lies a serene pond filled with beautiful koi carp, surrounded by winding paths, graceful bridges, and diverse vegetation that changes with the seasons, cherry blossoms in spring, fiery maples in autumn. 😍
The garden is usually quiet, with few visitors, making it an ideal spot to relax, read, or enjoy a peaceful picnic. Entry is reasonably priced, and it’s easy to spend one or two hours fully immersed in the natural beauty and refined atmosphere of Japanese aesthetics. 👌
You need to pay a little bit, it is a small garden but it is very beautiful. You will find a little lake in the middle with fish and tortoise, also you will see pigeons and other birds.
On the other hand the garden has little details that make it very beautiful. Like small bridges, mini rocky roads and other stuffs. You can buy food to feed the animals, you have a very clean bathroom. See my pictures to have a better idea.
Now, when to do this. The day that you choose to visit Hiroshima Castle and the Hiroshima peace monuments, you can finish your day in this garden. I did everything walking so you may rest some time in peace in that garden.
Beautiful clean and tidy garden in Hiroshima. Worth the small entrance fee. Ideal for taking some time to slow down from a crazy schedule of exploring. Visited mid-March so was also a couple of blossomed trees as an added bonus. Would recommend!
