After visiting many different locations in Spring around Hiroshima city over many years to view the beautiful cherry blossoms, here is a list of my top four Hanami (Cherry blossom viewing) spots in the city. If you are looking for a traditional view, sit under the blossoming trees around the moat of Hiroshima Castle. If you are looking for great views and don't mind a short hike up the mountain head to the Peace Pagoda, or for more views of the Seto-naikai sea walk or drive up Mt.Ogonzan. If you are looking for a variety of grassy picnic areas to choose from including a good playground and food and drink stalls, Hijiyama park is a great choice. All of these places offer fantastic blossoms and are great places to enjoy a hanami picnic.
