Hiroshima's Sankeien Garden
Paul WalshBeautifully landscaped Japanese garden right next to Hiroshima Airport , well worth an hour of your time if you are in the area.
Hiroshima's very own Sankeien Garden (三景園), opened in 1993, is a traditional stroll garden that can be found near Hiroshima Airport in the Mihara area.
The garden is designed into three distinct landscapes (giving rise to the 'three views' in the name). As well as mountain and country village areas, just beyond the entrance's teahouse area can be found the Ō-umi area, a large pond which represents the Seto Inland Sea. Notice the platform modelled on the one found at Miyajima's Itsukushima Shrine or observe the colourful koi carp swimming around the pond.

A visit to Sankeien gardens in November offer Autumn colors, cool temperatures and often clear blue skies. Traditional gardens & carp pond next to Hiroshima airport.
Well and truly off the beaten path, Seishin-ji is in a beautiful setting and the story of its founding and its rebirth is an interesting one.
