In our view, this is a must visit when in Hiroshima. We found the gardens delightful and one of the best of its kind in Japan. The gardens are a representation of a landscape presented in miniature. Mounds represent hills, tress that have been meticulously tended via bonsai represent large pines, etc. It is a delightful place to spend an hour or so wandering around and admiring the beauty before strolling on to the more sombre sights nearby. Overall it was very peaceful and beautiful garden in the heart of the city. Though the cityscape is visible around the garden, Shukkei-en Garden offers wonderful vistas that bring peace and tranquility to ones soul. Nicely maintained. #givethanks #givethanks
