Shukkeien Garden

Shukkeien Garden is Hiroshima’s largest garden and it is also incredibly beautiful. This Japanese style garden has a long standing history that dates back to the 1600’s. It was originally constructed as a villa for local feudal lord. Shukkeien literally translates to shrink scenery garden and it displays a hint of Chinese design miniaturized in forms of ponds, bridges and various plants.

Definitely worth a visit if you are in Hiroshima visiting it’s Peace Garden. A little nature walk might take the heaviness off your chest.

How to get there?

Shukkeien is a 15 minute walk from Hiroshima Station, located just next to the Hiroshima Prefectural Art Museum. Streetcar number 9 stops just in front of the garden at “Shukkeien-mae”. From Hiroshima Station, take streetcar line 1, 2 or 6 to Hacchobori where transferring to streetcar line 9.
