As a landmark of Hiroshima, you really have to visit Hiroshima Castle if you're in town. The original castle was destroyed by the atomic bomb, so what you see now is a reconstruction. Some of the modern facilities inside make it feel a bit different from the original Hiroshima Castle vibe.

Café & Bar Tower View Terrace
Located on the 3rd floor of Tokyo Prince Hotel in Minato’s Shiba Park area, Café & Bar Tower View Terrace is a stylish café and bar renowned for its stunning terrace overlooking Tokyo Tower. Surrounded by the beauty of the seasons-cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, and vibrant autumn foliage-it offers a relaxing, open-air setting for dining in any season.
You can enjoy coffee or cocktails while getting an up-close view of Tokyo Tower—the scenery is absolutely beautiful. It's super comfy with sunlight streaming in during the day, and at night, the lights make it really romantic. There aren't a lot of seats, but it's pretty quiet, so it's great for dates or just having a drink and chatting. There are plenty of drink options, the desserts are tasty, and while the prices are a bit high, the view totally makes it worth it. I highly recommend going at dusk to watch the sunset turn into the night view—such a great atmosphere!

Ashikaga Flower Park
At Ashikaga Flower Park, visitors can admire seasonal flowers presented through eight themes: Early Spring, Spring Flower Festival, A Tale of the Wisteria, Rainbow Garden, Blue & White Garden, Flower Fairies on the Water, Purple Garden, and Flower Fantasy. This popular destination attracts many visitors from Japan and abroad.
Every year when I visit Japan, besides cherry blossoms and autumn leaves, now I have another great option.

Nagoya Castle
One of the largest castles in Japan, built in the early Edo period on the orders of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo shogunate, the five-story castle tower is topped with shining two Kinshachi, one male and one female that has become a symbol of Nagoya.
The original castle was destroyed in air raids, and the current one is still being rebuilt. It looks quite different from how it used to be.
