Shrunken Scenery Garden in Autumn: Shukkeien Garden Walk in Hiroshima

Shukkeien (translated to “shrunken scenery park”) is a landscape garden in Hiroshima, Japan, where various landscapes such as valleys, mountains and forests are represented in miniature. In this video, we follow the main route (walking course A).

I cleaned up the video as much as possible, but unfortunately it is still raw POV footage as an ordinary tourist, so apologies for the visible hands and phone and the awkward camera angle.
