The park has a long history dating back to 1620, shortly after the completion of Hiroshima Castle. The garden displays many features of the traditional aesthetics of Japanese gardens. Around the main pond of the garden there are a number of teahouses, koi and turtles swimming in the pond.

The park was completely destroyed by the atomic bomb explosion and rebuilt after the war.

The garden is my favorite place in Hiroshima. The entire complex was restored after the atomic bomb was dropped and is now one of the most beautiful gardens in this part of Japan. The circuit offers a lot of variety. If you want, you can also feed koi. There is also a restaurant.

For an entrance fee of 230 yen you can visit the park during normal opening hours.
I have visited him several times. After a longer period of rain you could really smell some plants, and when you heard the rushing of the waterfall, you could experience them with all your senses.
