| Scenic Vista: Kokokyo Bridge and Turtle-Shaped Islet |
For over 400 years, Shukkeien 縮景園 ⭐has offered a tranquil escape in the heart of Hiroshima. Originally built as a feudal lord's garden in 1620, it has survived fires, wars, and the atomic bomb, being lovingly restored each time. The garden's design has evolved over centuries, but its purpose remains the same: to provide a place of peace and beauty.
Visitors can stroll along paths that wind through a landscape filled with seasonal flowers. In spring, cherry blossoms and plum trees burst into color. Summer brings lush greenery, while autumn blankets the garden in vibrant leaves. Even in winter, plum blossoms and camellias provide a splash of color. During the Cherry Blossom Festival (3/28/2025 - 4/6/2025), the garden is even illuminated at night, offering a truly magical experience.
Shukkeien is more than a garden; it's a living piece of history that continues to charm both locals and tourists alike, inviting everyone to slow down and enjoy its timeless beauty.
