Shukkei-en

Shukkei-en is a Japanese landscape garden laid out from 1620 by the tea master Ueda Sōko for Asano Nagaakira, lord of Hiroshima. Paths circle a pond with small islands, bridges and tea houses, imitating scenery in miniature. The garden was destroyed by the atomic bomb in 1945 and has since been restored.
