Hijiyama Park

Hijiyama Park is located on a small hill, from which you can get a panoramic view of Hiroshima city and the Seto Inland Sea. In addition to facilities such as the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art, which is modeled after a traditional Japanese building called a "kura" (storehouse), and the Hiroshima City Manga Library, where you can enjoy manga while tracing the history of manga, there are many sculptures and other attractions in the park, making it famous as an art park. The park is filled with nature, and is especially famous as a cherry blossom viewing spot. Many people visit Hijiyama Park in search of its beauty during the season when more than 1,000 cherry trees bloom.
