縮景園
It was a fairly cold winters day but I was bored of staying indoors so I decided to hop on the tram and head into Hiroshima. I went to the Prefectural Art Museum where they had a special exhibition on childrens picture books which had some marvellous exhibits on display from Europe, Asia and Africa. After spending a couple hours looking around I entered the Shukkei Gardens which is attached to the museum itself. The gardens are very well kept and you can walk around the entire garden as well as through it. The garden itself contains bridges, lakes, mountains, walk ways, tea houses all in miniature scale giving the impression that it covers a lot of area. There are various spots where you can sit down, relax and forget that you are in the middle of Hiroshima! I am sure that the gardens look beautiful in Summer and will try to go back during the year.
