Shukkeien Garden

P G a week ago

Serene, larger than expected park in the middle of the city; follow marked route for best experience & should take about an hour at a leisurely pace. For an additional nominal amount you can visit the attached art museum, but the park is definitely the star. You can also buy food to feed the koi (carp), and blossoms are currently out. There’s a small bamboo forest, and the only tree to survive the atomic bomb. Recommended.

We visited this beautiful garden in Hiroshima and even got a private free tour led by this very nice volunteer. We learned a lot and were impressed by the beauty of this garden. There were even trees that survived the bombing in 1945! This garden is absolutely worth a visit.

I don't have any expectation to this Japanese garden at first. I charged my mind after my visit. It's a gorgeous garden which has a long history. There's a guided route to show you it's true beauty of lake and the plant.

One of the most beautiful places I've been in my multiple visits to Japan. The landscape of this garden is really something amazing and it has remained the same for the last 400 years. It feels like exploring a small world with mountains, rivers, bridges, woods, waterfalls. The garden was restored after WW2 while keeping the original shape, and the only tree that survived the A-bomb still lives inside of it.

Visiting these gardens at night was a mesmerizing experience. The lighting added an enchanting touch, making the koye (autumn leaves) even more special, casting a magical ambiance over the entire place. And here's a tip: don't miss out on savoring a glass of warm sake at the end of your tour. It's the perfect finale to an already breathtaking experience amidst the illuminated beauty of these gardens.
