Hiroshima Botanical Garden
Located on a hill in Saeki Ward, this botanical garden features a diverse collection of plant species. Visitors go here to view the curated flora and the views overlooking the Seto Inland Sea.
Getting There
The garden is situated away from the city center. Travelers typically use a combination of local transit or a taxi from central Hiroshima. The journey generally takes around 30 to 45 minutes depending on the mode of transport and traffic conditions.
Duration of Visit
Allow approximately 2 to 3 hours to walk through the various plant sections and explore the hillside layout at a steady pace.
