Shukkeien Garden
Shukkeien Garden dates back to 1620 when Asano Nagaakira, the feudal load, ruled the Hiroshima area and ordered the construction of the garden for his villa.
Beautiful Japanese garden! There’s a pond, little bridges, and a teahouse inside, with gorgeous scenery that changes every season. You can walk around the whole place in about 30 minutes. It’s super peaceful—perfect for a relaxing stroll. Cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves are especially stunning! 😻
Okabe-shuku Ohatago Kashibaya
This lodging facility was used as an inn for travelers coming and going on the Tokaido Highway during the Edo period. It is now open to the public as a museum, where visitors can learn about the lifestyle of the people and how inns were used in those days.
Okabe-shuku has become popular among foreigners in recent years. You can enjoy sake made from the area's beautiful water, especially from the well-known Hatsukame Brewery.
Miho no Matsubara
About 30,000 pine trees grow along the 5-km-long coastline, a scenic spot that has attracted people from all walks of life since ancient times. It is one of Japan's three new scenic spots and one of Japan's three great pine groves. In 2013, it was registered as a component of the World Cultural Heritage of Mt Fuji.
Miho no Matsubara feels like a place full of energy for travelers. The famous Miho Shrine and the 'Path of the Gods' are nearby. Walking here gave me a totally refreshed feeling.
