Hiroshima Botanical Garden (広島市植物公園)

Flow of the course

About this spot

After leaving the greenhouse, have lunch on one of the open lawns in the garden. It is a spacious spot ringed by seasonal flower beds, and simply spreading a sheet and eating your lunch box there feels like a picnic. The grass is soft enough that children can roll around safely, and it is just the right time to cool down before the water play. Choose a spot with shade and the breeze passes through pleasantly, so even midsummer feels surprisingly relaxed. The afternoon fountain starts at 13:30, so work backwards and finish eating in good time.

Tips

There are dining areas in the garden, but they can get crowded, so bringing a lunch box is the sure bet. As a rule, take your rubbish home with you. Shade on the lawn is limited, so secure a spot under the trees first. Avoid water play immediately after eating; resting a little before moving on is the safer approach.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 10 minutes. Finishing lunch before 13:00 gives you time to make the 13:30 fountain
