2022-03-17

Sakura season is upon us! For many, this means that it’s finally time to get outside and get some vitamin D after staying wrapped up and cozy in our houses after this very cold winter. There’s no better way to celebrate spring in Japan than by heading outside to check out nearby sakura spots.

Here is a guide for anyone living in Hiroshima, we will discuss where you can see cherry blossom in Hiroshima, including the best spots right on your doorstep.

Plus, for people anywhere in Japan looking at where to see cherry blossoms beyond the most popular and touristy areas like Kyoto, Tokyo, and Nara, Hiroshima could be the destination for you!

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park

When visiting Hiroshima, many people will visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park to learn about the history of what happened in Hiroshima and to hope, think, and pray for world peace.

Naturally, since the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is the most popular park in the prefecture, this park is also one of the most popular places to see sakura in Hiroshima.

There are over 300 sakura trees in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, growing along each side of the riverbank, making it one of the most stunning sakura spots.

Cherry blossom

Access:

Take the tram from Hiroshima Station (line 2 or 6) to Genbaku-Dome Mae. This costs around 200 yen and takes around 15 minutes.

Address:

1丁目-1-10 Nakajimacho, Naka Ward, Hiroshima, 730-0811

Miyajima Island

Miyajima Island

Another one of Hiroshima’s most iconic landmarks is Itsukushima Shrine, located on Miyajima Island. Beyond being one of the most stunning places to see cherry blossom in Hiroshima, it is also home to Itsukushima Shrine and the beautiful floating torii gate on the sea as well as plenty of cute and friendly deer.

Nonetheless, in springtime, Miyajima Island is popular as one of the best sakura spots. The combination of the well-kept shrine grounds, the floating torii, the sea, and nature make an exquisite environment to take in the cherry blossom.

Shimanami Kaido

Shimanami Kaido

One active and unique way to appreciate the season of cherry blossom in Hiroshima is by doing the Shimanami Kaido. This is Japan’s most famous cycling route and it is just over 70 kilometers of utterly beautiful scenery. It can be done in a day by both expert and fairly beginner cyclists.

Cycling is a beautiful way to take in the views of an area, and this island-hopping route certainly offers a lot of them. Technically crossing two prefectures (Hiroshima and Ehime), you can still start in Hiroshima in the morning and be back by the end of the day.

If you are doing the trip, make sure to stop at Senkoji Park in Onomichi, which is a short ropeway ride up to the top of Mt. Senkoji. Mt. Senkoji has some of the most breathtaking views of sakura in Hiroshima. Here you will find over 10,000 cherry blossoms against a backdrop of the Seto Inland Sea.
