This 17th-century miniature landscape garden was restored after its destruction in 1945, and contains a pond, streams, islets and bridges.
I love Hiroshima, there are always new attractions to explore. I saw Shukkei-en Garden on a map, and decided to check it out. It is not far from the main train station, so it is a must. I highly recommend adding this to your itinerary. The entrance was pretty cheap, around 260 yen a person. You need at minimum an hour here as there are trails and interesting historical markers worth reading, not to mention many photo spots and places to relax and enjoy the beauty. Japan seems to have varieties of flowers that bloom at different times of the year, so anytime is a good time to visit. The pond in the center is lovely and is full of beautiful koi fish among other species and lots of adorable turtles. These gardens are a must when visiting Hiroshima.

The gondola is still not working (should be back working tomorrow), so we walked up. The posted sign said 90 minutes, but this 62 year old in good shape make it in one hour. The hike is 98% stairs, so no strollers! Bring water if you hike, though you can buy drinks at a machine by the buildings just below the top. The Lookout on top does close at 4pm, so make sure to arrive earlier since you will miss the best views if you can’t go up the Lookout.

Scenic site that includes the Itsukushima Shrine, Otorii Gate and visit to Mt. Misen.
It is nearly impossible to humanly describe the magnitude of what fascinating Miyajima island can offer - one has to experience it first hand. Definitely should be at the top of the list of any visit to Hiroshima. Please plan ahead as you would need a minimum of at least half a day as it should be enjoyed in a unhurried manner. It just seems that time slowed down on the island. If you can, go early and stay late. The island itself is amazingly explorable. Wear comfortable walking or hiking shoes. The buildings, especially the Itsukushima Shine with its gigantic ‘floating’ torii gate and nearby temples and pagodas have beautiful architectures that blends into the natural surroundings of sea, lush forests, and the misty Mount Misen. Wild and friendly deers roam its street freely. The residents of Miyajima were super friendly. Miyajima’s quaint town is filled with rustic buildings of shops and restaurants. Seafood served in the restaurants were delicious especially the grilled oysters freshly harvested in local waters. There are also some very scenic (potentially challenging) hiking trails up Mt Misen. If time is of the essence, and you are not able to hike the entire elevation of Mt Misen, take the ropeway up to near the top and then hike the rest of the way to the summit for some spell binding views at 1755 feet.

Sandankyo was the highlight of our trip to Hiroshima, and I highly recommend everyone to at least walk the lower gorge up to the noodle house (1.5km one way). The scenery is to die for, and the route is manageable for most. If you are fitter, keep going up the gorge, and target to catch the shuttle bus that leaves from the mid-level carpark back to Sandankyo at 2pm. Most people should be able to cover the lower gorge, nidandaki and sandandaki before 2pm. The 2pm shuttle should take you back into town in time for a quick lunch and to catch the 3:00 or 3:30 express bus back to Hiroshima.
