Hiroshima, Japan - Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park - Full Tour (2019)
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park (広島平和記念公園 Hiroshima Heiwa Kinen Kōen) is a memorial park in the center of Hiroshima, Japan. It is dedicated to the legacy of Hiroshima as the first city in the world to suffer a nuclear attack, and to the memories of the bomb's direct and indirect victims (of whom there may have been as many as 140,000). The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is visited by more than one million people each year. The park is there in memory of the victims of the nuclear attack on August 6, 1945. On August 6, 1945 the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima Japan. The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park was planned and designed by the Japanese Architect Kenzō Tange at Tange Lab.
The location of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park was once the city’s busiest downtown commercial and residential district. The park was built on an open field that was created by the explosion. Today there are a number of memorials and monuments, museums, and lecture halls, which draw over a million visitors annually. The annual 6 August Peace Memorial Ceremony, which is sponsored by the city of Hiroshima, is also held in the park. The purpose of the Peace Memorial Park is to not only memorialize the victims, but also to establish the memory of nuclear horrors and advocate world peace.

*The fallout pictured at the beginning of the video is of Nagasaki, not Hiroshima. I felt this appropriate, as Nagasaki was bombed three days later by the same methods.
**It's also worth noting that while the video images are of victims from the A-bomb, the children/people on screen are not the owners of the items at the museum, or the same people being talked about in the voice-over.

Hiroshima Peace Park & Peace Museum - Japan Vlog
Visiting Hiroshima Peace Park and Museum - a day trip from Kyoto on the bullet train to Hiroshima and Miyajima.
Japan vlog about visiting Hiroshima. We saw the A-Bomb Dome, which is where the world's first atomic bomb was dropped, and the Peace Park and Peace Museum. See what it's like on the shinkansen bullet train between Kyoto and Miyajima.
The Peace Museum isn't an easy place to look round, but I'm glad we went. I didn't film too much inside the museum because it didn't seem appropriate, and it feels strange being there as a tourist destination. The Peace Park is lovely, with the paper cranes, sculptures and memorials. After visiting Hiroshima we went on to Miyajima, which was one of the most beautiful places we visited. It's a good day trip from Kyoto with your Japan Rail Pass - you can see more in my next video!

Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome) (UNESCO/NHK)
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome) was the only structure left standing in the area where the first atomic bomb exploded on 6 August 1945. Through the efforts of many people, including those of the city of Hiroshima, it 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 ...

It is dedicated to the legacy of Hiroshima as the first city in the world to suffer a nuclear attack, and to the memories of the bomb's direct and indirect victims (of whom there may have been as many as 140,000). The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is visited by more than one million people each year. The park is there in memory of the victims of the nuclear attack on August 6, 1945. On August 6, 1945 the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima Japan. The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park was planned and designed by the Japanese Architect Kenzō Tange at Tange Lab.
The location of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park was once the city’s busiest downtown commercial and residential district. The park was built on an open field that was created by the explosion. Today there are a number of memorials and monuments, museums, and lecture halls, which draw over a million visitors annually. The annual 6 August Peace Memorial Ceremony, which is sponsored by the city of Hiroshima, is also held in the park. The purpose of the Peace Memorial Park is to not only memorialize the victims, but also to establish the memory of nuclear horrors and advocate world peace.
There are three Peace Bells in the Peace Park. The smaller one is used only for the Peace Memorial Ceremony. Except that day, it is displayed in the east building of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. The more well-known Peace Bell stands near the Children's Peace Monument and consists of a large Japanese bell hanging inside a small open-sided structure. Visitors are encouraged to ring the bell for world peace and the loud and melodious tolling of this bell rings out regularly throughout the Peace Park. The Peace Bell was built out in the open on September 20, 1964. The surface of the bell is a map of the world, and the sweet spot is an atomic symbol, designed by Masahiko Katori [1899–1988], cast by Oigo Bell Works, in Takaoka, Toyama. The inscriptions on the bell are in Greek (γνῶθι σεαυτόν), Japanese, and Sanskrit. It is translated as Know yourself. The Greek embassy donated the bell to the Peace Park and picked out the most appropriate ancient Greek philosophical quote of Socrates. The Sanskrit text is a quotation from Longer Sukhāvatīvyūha Sūtra which was attested by the Indian ambassador. The Japanese text was provided by a university lecturer.
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, Genbaku Atomic Bomb UNESCO Dome, Museum, Hiroshima, Japan
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Atomic Dome (Hiroshima's Atomic Bomb Genbaku Dome), and Peace Museum, Hiroshima, Japan. A tribute to peace at the commemoration of the 67th Anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb.
The famous Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima (Hiroshima Peace Memorial), Japan (Gembaku Domu in Japanese). This famous building is located next to the Aioi River and near the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum in Hiroshima city. It was formerly the Industrial Promotion Hall. (It is located across the park from the Peace Museum.) At night, the Atomic Bomb Dome building is illuminated in a green light. It is also known as the A-Bomb Dome (or The Genbaku Dome in Japanese), and is part of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. It has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It is also known as the A-Bomb Dome (or The Genbaku Dome in Japanese), and is part of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. It has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The building serves as a solemn memorial to the people who were tragically killed in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Over 70,000 people were killed instantly due to the bombing, and another 70,000 suffered fatal injuries from the radiation. US president Harry Truman, made the difficult decision to authorise the atomic bombing of Japan during World War II. The Allied forces agreed to put an end to the Pacific War which was not ending - but rather costing many lives - civilian and military. At 8:15 am on 6 August 1945, Little Boy (the first atomic bomb to be used in any war) detonated almost directly above the dome (approximately 600 m above the dome). The Japanese city of Nagasaki was bombed three days later.
Apparently when the atomic bomb exploded, many people threw themselves into the nearby river to ease the pain - many did not survive.

Hiroshima will soon commemorate the 67th anniversary of the tragic Atomic devastation.
