Even the most urban corners of Hiroshima hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Peace Memorial Park and Museum and Shukkeien Garden offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Onomichi for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.
Hiroshima is a city reborn, where the solemn Peace Memorial Park and the vibrant modern downtown coexist as a powerful testament to resilience. Walking here is both a deeply moving and uplifting experience.

Hiroshima is known for history and peace, but between the busy streets, spaces like Peace Memorial Park and Museum and Shukkeien Garden provide a different kind of experience — calmer, greener, and more grounded than a typical sightseeing route. Quieter spots like Onomichi provide the kind of rest that the main attractions cannot.
Hiroshima is flat and well-suited for walking, but rent a bicycle from the city's share system to cover more ground between the Peace Park and Shukkeien Garden.
April for cherry blossoms around the Peace Park or October through November for comfortable temperatures and autumn foliage on Miyajima.
