Hiroshima Castle

Rebuilt following its destruction by the atomic bomb, this building houses an excellent museum that traces Hiroshima’s history, describes the architecture and other aspects of castles in Japan and, through videos, explains the construction of this castle.

Reviewed By HKeater - Hong Kong, China

The castle was rebuilt with original aesthetics retained where possible. Lots of photos and exhibits to see and once you reach the top floor, you are rewarded with a brisk refreshing breeze and great views across the city.

Fukuyama Castle

Reviewed By BZimm08 - Iwakuni, Japan

I've seen many castles in Japan and the Fukuyama Castle is up there as one of the more interesting and beautiful ones. The castle is right next to the train station, so no excuses for not visiting. The grounds are free to enter, I recommend exploring the grounds as there are many attractions within the castle walls. Don't miss the little garden here behind the castle as the views are incredible. I just love the architecture of the castle and how it stands out. I did not go inside the castle as I heard it was not worth it, but I found the exterior and grounds to be lovely.
