(+) Hidden gem in Hiroshima. (+) Great outdoor space with lush greenery and scenery. (+) Great place for photography (landscape, nature, social media, etc.) (+) Paved roads good for running or walking. (+) Children's playground available. (+) Car parking available. (+) Public restrooms available. (-) Actual entrance can be tricky. Get yourself to the entrance of the adjacent shopping mall and use the SKYWALK to go up the hill. (-) No vending machines or snack vendors available (that I saw), so grab your drinks and snacks before you head up. (-) The museum was closed for renovation at the time of my visit (Aug. 2021), so I was unable to explore that part of the park.

If you’re in Hiroshima after the memorial - this is a must see place. It’s a really beautiful park with amazing views and history. There’s a really short hike to get to the top, but the views are beautiful.

Big park. Only covered a small quarter of it. Beware it is wild and hilly in parts...stick to the road and paths. it is also a quiet place that encompasses a beautiful museum, a library, memorials, a temple and cemeteries.

Amazing park - excellent views of all of Hiroshima including the port and surrounding islands

Pretty big park, under construction. Not very many park trails, mostly on the road. Not many big views either, didn't feel much like nature. Still nice to walk around I guess!
