Things to do in Shukkeien Garden

One of our favourite parks we visited on our Japan trip. Absolutely stunning, and features unique architecture, a small bamboo forrest, turtles, and lots of koi fish. We visited in April 2026 in peak cherry blossom season - highly recommend.

We loved the tour and even the order of the tour was perfectly planned out. Should be mentioned, the tour guide does not know perfect english but has the ability and made the effort to communicate properly at all times, very talkative and extremely friendly. Knows all the facts and curiosities around the place and was happy to answer any questions. Kept making stops to hydrate and go to the restroom.

Unfortunately, I am the lone member of the tour group. But the tour was scheduled correctly and didn't cancel for me. The guide is really kind and considerate. Give a thorough explanation and enjoy the entire journey. Thank you to my guide. Thank you. Bounus, i got chance to see the Cherry bloom along the river and Castel.

if we we could have given a 6th star to Yoshiko we would have. she was local, knowledgeable, and had an amazing personality. She taught us more than just the tour, she taught us how to be in Hiroshima. amazing tour. highly recommended.

I was desperately searching for a tour for 1 person and I'm so glad I found this! I got Kaori as my tour guide and she was simply wonderful. She reached out to me right away and we started planning the itinerary together. She made sure to consider my needs and we spent a very interesting and great day together. Highly recommend this service - especially for solo travelers who would like to have a knowledgeable local accompany them on their trip.

This is a tour by public transportation and the group is kept very small. we only have three members on the tour. The guide Isabella is very clear in her explanation. She has lots of positive energy.

such a moving and insightful tour we felt so much emotions and was so grateful that we had this opportunity to be here and experience history. Our tour guide was great. He was so fun. My boys loved him definitely recommend.

We visited during the Obon holiday, and there were so many tourists that the exhibition hall was packed, making it impossible to see the exhibits. It was a real shame! However, inside the exhibition, you could truly feel the horror of nuclear energy in warfare. I hope for world peace and an end to all wars.

1. The location is very convenient, situated in a small area right next to the entrance of Hiroshima Castle, a must-visit spot, making it easy to find. 2. The staff provides very detailed instructions and explanations on archery steps in English, ensuring even those who aren't athletic can enjoy themselves. 3. Visitors are given traditional Kyudo (Japanese archery) attire to wear, and the staff will even use their phones to capture this precious experience (videos/photos) for you. 4. Finally, you receive a commemorative sticker, creating an unforgettable memory. 5. The follow-up email after the experience is also very prompt and thoughtful. In summary, apart from the cost being a bit high and requiring a reservation, there are no downsides. I highly recommend experiencing this before or after visiting Hiroshima Castle.
