Send Flowers to Hiroshima, Japan

Built on the delta of the Ota River, Hiroshima is a city of bridges, trams and wide, tree-lined avenues. The oleander is its official flower, chosen because it was among the first plants to bloom again after the atomic bombing, and that story gives flowers a particular meaning here as a sign of recovery and hope.

The centre lies around Hondori, Kamiyacho and Hatchobori, a short walk from the Peace Memorial Park. Residential districts climb the surrounding hills in Asaminami and Saeki wards, and many families live in apartment blocks near the tram lines. Car industry employees and university staff are frequent recipients, along with grandparents whose children have moved to Tokyo or overseas.

Early August is a time of remembrance in the city, and quiet, respectful arrangements are appropriate then. For flower delivery in Hiroshima, order before midnight Japan time for next-day delivery, Monday to Saturday. There is no same-day service and no delivery on Sundays or national holidays. The Seto Inland Sea climate is generally mild and fairly dry.
