Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum

This park commemorates the explosion of the first atomic bomb, and houses the Peace Memorial Museum and monuments related to the horrific event.

This is perhaps one of the most moving experiences we had during our Japanese holiday. The Atomic Dome, Peace Park and Museum are all captivating, with many deeply personal stories and reflections. There is an audiovisual display that gives a depiction of the bomb dropping which depicts Hiroshima both before and after the event which is extremely thought-provoking and intense. If you travel to Japan you must visit this site - you will not be disappointed.

Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims

Reviewed By grwpl

This is not a tourist attraction but it is somewhere all visitors should visit. It serves at just how all of us should strive to avoid conflicts and wars. The bomb in August 1945 may have served to end WW2, the lives lost as a result are an almost impossible trade off for the end result gained. World leaders who continual sabre rattle and and boast like small children in a school playground should be forced to visit here an see the faces and photographs of the devastation caused by what in todays terms was a fairly small weapon. The hall is a good reminder of the impact of war and is delivered in a very tasteful way that allows you to think and reflect. Meeting Japanese schoolchildren in the immediate area who were learning English and keen to practice just served to demonstrate further what a peaceful, happy and optimistic country Japan is today, one that many other countries could learn from.
