The surrounding grounds are beautiful, featuring lush gardens and moats that are perfect for a leisurely stroll. The castle park is especially lovely during cherry blossom season.

Hiroshima and Miyajima History

Namitsu was a very knowledgeable and kind tour guide. My wife and I very much enjoyed learning all about Hiroshima and Miyajima’s history with her!

Published on Dec, 2024

Our guide Riona was excellent. Being so young we wondered if she had the experience to take us around and goodness me were we surprised as to how much and how well she knew about our tour. I would love to recommend Riona to all my friends if and when they visit Hiroshima. She was a very pleasant young lady and very obliging.

Thanks to Ms Maki Aota to show all the places and explain beautifully.
