Created for the Hiroshima domain, the garden uses small landscapes to suggest wider scenes. Walk its pond circuit rather than viewing it only from the entrance, and notice how bridges change the perspective. The garden was damaged in 1945 and restored, adding another layer to its otherwise tranquil setting.
What to look for
Pond, bridges and miniature edo-period landscapes
