Shukkeien Garden

Preserved in the archive in 2008. Historical article; travel and business details may have changed.

Shukkeien Garden Hiroshima sometimes known as Bridges in Shukkeien is one of the great Japanese gardens. Shukkeien (縮景園), while not officially one of Japan’s Top 3, is a compact and beautifully landscaped Japanese garden well worth a visit. Despite the occasional high-rise peeping over the trees, it feels like an entirely different world, little paths crossing ponds on bridges and winding their way around graceful teahouses and waterfalls. Open daily 9 AM to 6 PM, entry ¥250. Get there on tram line 9, stop Shukkeien-mae. Shukkeien, Hiroshima, Japan — by jpatokal Hiroshima Hotel Looking for Hiroshima Accommodation?
