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.

Visited the Museum this September, we registered online well in advance for this is a free of charge and very popular attraction in Hiroshima. You can get to the museum with 5 min train from Hiroshima station to Mukainada station, after a 5 min walk you will get to the museum. Once you enter you’ll receive a visitor tag and be free to explore the lobby and take pictures (photography on factory grounds is prohibited!). There is a Tull’y coffee shop you can take a little break before/after the tour When it’s time to start the tour your guide will tell you to get on the bus (few min ride to the factory grounds) and will tell you about the Mazda history and anecdotes. Our guide had very good English and very nice and attentive. Tour takes 90 min to complete, you go through some of the different stages of assembly and get to see everything from the top of the production line. It was a fun experience and we strongly recommend it to anyone coming to Hiroshima, adds a different point of view in this unique historical city.

Awesome museum, do scan the QR code on entering to get the English video apps for the museum, makes a big difference, WiFi in museum is free. The exhibits are well worth the trip from Hiroshima(free with JR pass), the models of ships are cool and drop over to the JSDF museum opposite for a free lookie loo in a submarine.
