Hiroshima · HIROSHIMA CASTLE & SHUKKEI-EN GARDEN
3 reviewed
Shukkei-en was laid out in 1620 as a shrunken landscape of hills, valleys and a lake, and the castle keep beside it was rebuilt in 1958. The tours below take in one or both: what each includes, how much time it gives you inside the grounds, entry fees, and which pair the two with a wider city walk.
Learn kyudo in Hiroshima Castle area: dress in traditional dogi and hakama, shoot guided rounds, and enjoy a small-group archery challenge with photos.
“Just take the leap and try it… anyone can do it… Being an archer myself I have some other habits that don’t apply here… so once again, even without experience, just do it…”

Ride an e-bike through Hiroshima’s Peace Park, Castle, and Mitaki Temple with an English guide in a small group.
“Thoroughly enjoyed this ebike tour. Easy to find meeting point and good comms with our guide Joshua. We saw so many places with Joshua who was extremely knowledgeable. We spent just the right amount of time at each place and riding was quite a pleasure. Thank you Joshua, we all had a great time.”
