About this experience

What to expect

It was built by the former lord of Hiroshima. It is a typical Edo period architectural style. It is said that it is also modeled on the architecture of the West Lake in China. "Shijing Garden". The Zhuoying Pond in the center of the garden is dotted with small islands of different sizes. The valleys, bridges, and pavilions are ingeniously arranged. It is very interesting to cruise through it, so it is also called a parade garden. Flowers bloom in the garden all year round, so you can experience the charm of the garden any time you come. In 1940, Shukkei Garden was designated as a national scenic spot. Due to the atomic bomb explosion, it was in a state of complete damage. Today, Qingfeng Pavilion and Mingyue Pavilion have been restored.
