Egesan Park

Eshimoyama Park is located around the summit of Mt. Eshimoyama (593m above sea level) in Yano-cho, Aki-ku. From the observation deck and parking lot near the summit, you can see a panoramic view of the center of Hiroshima City and the islands in Hiroshima Bay. At night, the illuminated Hiroshima Bridge and Kaita Bridge are beautiful, making it a popular spot for great views. You can drive to the summit on a paved road, and there are also the Chugoku Nature Trail and promenade, so you can enjoy hiking from various courses. In addition, near the entrance to Mt. Eshimoyama, there is the Miyamanotaki Campsite (with a kitchen and toilets), and in spring you can enjoy cherry blossom viewing. Near the summit, there is a television tower for terrestrial digital broadcasting shared by all Hiroshima television stations, which has become a landmark. The large parking lot near the summit of Mt. Eshimoyama allows you to enjoy the view from your car, so it is used by many people. However, the view from the Eshimoyama Park Observation Plaza is even more open. It is a spectacular spot with a panoramic view of the Hiroshima Bay area. At night, there are few street lights and it gets pitch black, so it's best to head to the observation deck before sunset. You can also watch the beautiful sunset at dusk, and then the neon lights start to light up, allowing you to see the cityscape gradually change appearance all at once. It's also more convenient to have a flashlight when you go to the toilet, etc.
