What to expect
The Azuchi-Momoyama period, when a magnificent culture flourished. Construction was started in 1598 by the warlord Mōri Terumoto. In the Edo period, Fukushima Masanori entered the castle in 1600. After Asano Nagaakira entered the castle in 1619, it became the residence of the Asano clan for 12 generations.
In the past, it was a grand castle centered on a five-story main keep, with three-story south and east minor keeps connected by a connecting turret. Although some of the keeps and buildings remained after the Meiji era, all the buildings were destroyed by the atomic bomb. The current main keep was restored in appearance in 1958 and is now a history museum introducing Hiroshima's history and samurai culture.
From the observation room on the 5th floor, you can see the city center and enjoy cherry blossoms in spring. In the vicinity, there are also the restored buildings of the Ninomaru (free admission), Hiroshima Castle Sannomaru (opening in March 2025) with dining establishments, the scenic Shukkei-en Garden, and Edion Peace Wing Hiroshima.

Well worth it for the price you pay. would recommend going early to beat the crowds. Nice garden around.
Wonderful place with an excellent view. A must-see for tourists and locals alike. If you like history, you can spend several hours inside.
beautiful setting with lots of history. although somber in many ways it has has charm. really glad we visited. we booked the early bird option at 9 am and glad we did as we were able to navigate the castle and grounds, take unobstructed pictures before the tour bus groups arrives when we were leaving.
A relatively young city that has witnessed the Hiroshima atomic bombing and the history of Japan. If you have the chance to visit, you can climb the castle. It's a good place to cool off in the hot summer.
the castle has free entry, then why is klook cheating customers asking them to pay? shameful.
