HIROSHIMA
A major City known for its tragic role in World War II, when it was the first target of a nuclear weapon, the "Little Boy" atomic bomb, on August 6, 1945. The bombing devastated the city, causing mass casualties and destruction.
Today, Hiroshima is a vibrant city that promotes peace and understanding.
At Hiroshima station entrance …
From station by bus to Atomic Bomb Dome, a powerful reminder of the nuclear bombing in 1945 and a testament to hope for world peace.
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome) is the only structure left standing near the hypocenter of the first atomic bomb which exploded on 6 August 1945, and it remains in the condition right after the explosion. Through the efforts of many people, including those of the city of Hiroshima, this ruin has been preserved in the same state as immediately after the bombing. Not only is it a stark and powerful symbol of the most destructive force ever created by humankind, it also expresses the hope for world peace and the ultimate elimination of all nuclear weapons.
