Shukkei-en Garden, Hiroshima, Japan
Shukkeien Garden is located ated right in the middle of Hiroshima city, and makes a pleasant escape from the city atmosphere. The garden was commissioned right after the completion of Hiroshima Castle in 1620. Originally, the garden was not open to the public, but did open publicly in 1940. Five years later, the garden was destroyed in the atomic bombing of the city, and has since been restored to its original splendor.
