[Japan🇯🇵Hiroshima Shukkeien] An unpopular area is a popular cherry blossom viewing spot🌸Prepare for the next cherry blossom viewing🌸‼ ️

Hiroshima, Japan is a relatively unpopular tourist destination in Japan, probably due to historical reasons🥲 But if you say you want to come to Japan to experience the life of the locals and relax, Hiroshima is indeed a place away from the hustle and bustle. Introducing Hiroshima's famous sightseeing spots - Shukkeien

🇯🇵Name: Shukkeien
📍Address: 2-11 Kamibori-cho, Naka-ku, Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, 730-0014
⏰Opening hours: 09:00-18:00 on most days
🛎️Transportation: 10 minutes walk from Hiroshima Station, or take the Hiroshima sightseeing tour bus🚌

Shukkei-en Garden was built as early as 1620. It was said that it was built by Ueda Muneko based on the scenery of West Lake. However, it was bombed during World War II. Now only some pavilions and courtyards have been repaired, but it already has its own unique flavor. It is currently one of the 100 greatest parks in Japanese history, and its status is recognized👍🏻

Shukkei-en is a great place to enjoy cherry blossoms🌸. Even locals will sit on the ground in the garden during the cherry blossom season and have a picnic🧺. There are all kinds of cherry blossoms🌸, big and small, Yoshino cherry, Oshima cherry, Kawazu cherry, weeping cherry (small), etc. When I went there, it happened to be strange weather, and there were some plum blossoms on the sidewalk next to the pond, and there was a strange scene of cherry and plum blossoms in the same field😂

In addition to the cherry blossoms, the pond here is also very distinctive. There are many large and small islands in the artificial pond, so that people can stroll around the pond along the pedestrian path beside the pond. If you are looking for a place to soothe your soul and calm your body and mind, Shukkei Garden is the place for you‼ ️
