Iwakuni

2.5
Historic Sites Parks Museums
The castle town of Iwakuni has an interesting and varied history populated by samurai warriors and U.S. military personnel. The feudal era saw the construction of the town's castle, and many of the main attractions of Iwakuni hinge around the rebuilt citadel, including samurai areas and landmarks. The blossom trees in the parks make Iwakuni a popular day trip from Hiroshima, when seasonal displays add a counterpoint to the city's status as a large U.S. military base. Iwakuni is in Yamaguchi Prefecture. Plan your vacation with our Japan road trip planner and discover the best things to do in Iwakuni.
