Shukkeien Garden

-

Hiroshima, Japan

Take a vir tual stroll around the four hundred-year-old Shukkeien Garden with its peaceful intricatel­y designed areas, winding paths and quaint bridges. The name “Shukkeien” means “shrunken scener y garden”, an apt descriptio­n because valleys, mountains and forests are represente­d here in miniature within the garden’s landscapes. Walk across the Koko-kyo Bridge, with its greener y and bonsai trees and stop to admire traditiona­l tea houses surrounded by cherr y blossom.
