Tranquil garden near the outskirts of downtown Hiroshima. Good place to walk around and take in the views.

Amazing garden, small and surrounded by city buildings but the route goes through lots of different areas and vistas that give the illusion of a much larger space. It's incredibly pretty and varied, great fun crossing bridges and stepping stones over carp-filled ponds, and following little paths winding round small hills.

These gardens are a must to anyone visiting Hiroshima. The gardens are beautiful. We were fortunate to visit during Cherry Blossom time so the trees were in ful bloom. So peaceful a setting and hours could be spent in this lovely place. Hope you enjoy as much as we did.

I've been to dozens of Japanese gardens and this is one of my all time favourites because of its central location and compact size. You can see so many great features without spending hours and hours. And the cherry trees were in bloom when I was there which doesn't hurt.

I loved these gardens. This was the best garden I visited in Japan. It had a real sense of peace and beauty. I would recommend this to everyone
