Explore the history and charm of the castle town at Hiroshima Castle

📍Hiroshima City, Naka Ward - Hiroshima Castle
Built during the Sengoku period by Terumoto Mori, Hiroshima Castle is a serene space surrounded by moats and stone walls, located right in the heart of the city. The main keep was reconstructed after the war and now serves as a museum showcasing Hiroshima's history and samurai culture. Visitors can enjoy experiences such as trying on samurai armor and viewing Japanese sword exhibits, making it popular among international tourists. In spring, the cherry blossoms along the moat reach their peak, making it a well-known spot for hanami (flower viewing). Conveniently located about a 10-minute walk from Kamiyacho-Higashi tram stop, it is also an ideal destination to pair with a visit to the Peace Memorial Park.
