Hiroshima City Forest Park Lawn Plaza

Flow of the course

About this spot

Hiroshima City Forest Park is a large, free-to-enter park spreading across the mountains of Higashi Ward in Hiroshima City. Inside are rest areas with shade, tables and chairs, making them just right for laying out a packed lunch. Thanks to the elevation, the breeze is cooler than in the city centre, and stepping under the trees feels far more comfortable. There is also shade with tables and chairs right beside the Jabu-Jabu Stream, handy as a spot to leave your belongings. After eating, rest a while and let your body settle before heading off for the water play.

Tips

There are only limited places to buy food inside the park, so bringing your own lunch and drinks is the safe choice. Tables are limited in number, so secure one early on busy days. As a rule, take your rubbish home with you. Being a mountain park, there are mosquitoes and horseflies, so applying insect repellent before sitting down makes for a more pleasant stay.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. Arriving before noon lets you pick your table
