What makes this place special?
At a Glance
Hiroshima Castle is a moated historic site where a reconstructed keep and wooden Ninomaru buildings recall the city's castle-town past.
The grounds bring together stone walls, water-filled moats and restored gate-and-turret architecture in central Hiroshima. The keep's exterior remains part of the landscape, but its interior closed after 22 March 2026 because of building deterioration. The Ninomaru restored buildings remain a separate visitor attraction; plan a grounds and exterior visit rather than an indoor keep museum tour.

How do I visit?
Admission
Free
Keep interior closed after 22 March 2026; exterior viewing remains possible. Ninomaru restored buildings remain open with separate hours and free entry. The 2026 calendar closes Ninomaru on 8 and 29–31 December. Grounds do not share an established single timetable here; shops and events have separate conditions. Recheck the operator calendar for later years.
Know before you go
Do not plan to enter the keep: its interior closed after 22 March 2026. Visit the grounds, keep exterior and Ninomaru restored buildings instead. Ninomaru's October–March last admission is 16:00; remove your shoes inside its wooden buildings. Check the current calendar before visiting, especially for December closures, and allow separate time for events or shops.
