- 639abbieCanberra, Australia1,120 contributionsYou need a certain level of fitness and tolerance for crowds. As you go higher in the hike the crowd thins out but it’s still busy but I must admit it’s golden week now so go early.Written April 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ccsfamilyGeneva, IL328 contributionsThis is one of the five stops on the all day bicycle tour. We spent about 45 minutes here walking the path around and had a lot of time to take photos. Plus, our bike tour guide provided a lot of interesting information about it. It was crowded; however, there is a lot of space so you could get a good photo and also stop to enjoy the scenery. If we were not on he tour, we would have explored the area a little more and also took time to stop by a few of the tents selling items right outside the exit area.Written April 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- chowsoGloucester, UK1,253 contributionsI would love to give this five stars but again, the crowds made it difficult to enjoy parts of this experience. It's a really beautiful place with a nice five story pagoda, and the main hall on stilts is very impressive. There is a nice walk to a small pagoda where people pray for fertility. The main hall and the views of the main hall with Kyoto in the background were the most crowded areas. It is definitely worth visiting but probably best to go as early as possible.Written April 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Christian MCopenhagen, Denmark4,170 contributionsThe small, melted 3-wheeled child's bicycle displayed with photographs of the children who used it until August 6, 1945, is heart-wrenching...
At 08:15, the US Army Air Forces dropped the atomic bomb over Hiroshima, and 70,000 men, women, and children were instantly incinerated. The estimated total death toll from this single bomb is believed to be at least 200,000.
Visiting the simple peace museum in Hiroshima and silently confronted with photos of entirely ordinary, often smiling people from before this pivotal moment in history juxtaposed with charred bodies and destroyed objects - and reading that Hiroshima was chosen as a target because the bomb would have maximum effect here - well, it's hard to buy into the official explanations that the A-bomb saved many more lives by ending the war with a definitive bang.
Is there a valid argument for cold-bloodedly killing so many completely innocent people - including tens of thousands of children?
The heart still weeps after visiting the museum and its accompanying peace park. The only solace is walking out into the city afterward and enjoying the sight of thousands of cheerful, chatting, eating, loving people, living and thriving.Written April 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kim buay pSingapore, Singapore11,364 contributionsWe took the train to Sendagaya station. On exiting the station turned right and walked past Excelsior cafe. We walked through the first underpass across the carpark below the train track and turned right. The Sendagaya entrance is just ahead and it is about 5 mins walk. Normally this park is closed on Monday but during the cherry blooming season, we could visit it on a Monday. This park is very peaceful and provides a good break from the city atmosphere. We also went into the Greenhouse.Written April 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LolaGo1Washington DC, DC6,578 contributionsAfter visiting the Osaka Castle, I took 2 Metro lines to reach the Nambia Station. From the station is a short walk to the Dotombori attractions. Tnere are lots of things to see and do here, particularly tasting and eating the various famous local cuisines of Osaka.
I tried the Omanyaki and the Squid Balls. Serving sizes are big, I brought my leftover foods back to the hotel. Also noted delicious to eat are the big brown cookie with lots of melted cheese inside. Cost of these foods are really cheap! I enjoyed my visit here!Written April 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

In this magnificent temple Vairocana Buddha is worshiped. The statue of Vairocana Buddha is made from bronze, which gold plated. It is flanked by two Bodhisattvas. The statue was established in 752, but was damaged and repaired several times over centuries. The Buddha Hall was was damaged by fire and rebuilt. It's one of the largest wooden structures in the world. A popular attraction in the temple is a pillar with a whole. People try to squeeze through the whole as it's supposed to bring enlightenment. The temple is within Nara park and there are several smaller temples around it.Written April 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
