Hiroshima:
As of 2006, the city has an estimated population of 1,154,391, while the total population for the metropolitan area was estimated as 2,043,788 in 2000.The total area of the city is 905.08 km², with a population density of 1275.4 persons per km².The population around 1910 was 143,000. Before World War II, Hiroshima's population had grown to 360,000, and peaked at 419,182 in 1942.Following the atomic bombing in 1945, the population dropped to 137,197.By 1955, the city's population had returned to pre-war levels.
Hiroshima has a professional symphony orchestra, which has performed at Wel City Hiroshima since 1963. There are also many museums in Hiroshima, including the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, along with several art museums. The Hiroshima Museum of Art, which has a large collection of French renaissance art, opened in 1978. The Hiroshima Prefectural Art Museum opened in 1968, and is located near Shukkei-en gardens. The Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art, which opened in 1989, is located near Hijiyama Park. Festivals include Hiroshima Flower Festival and Hiroshima International Animation Festival.Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, which includes the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, draws many visitors from around the world, especially for the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony, an annual commemoration held on the date of the atomic bombing. The park also contains a large collection of monuments, including the Children's Peace Monument, the Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims and many others.
Hiroshima's rebuilt castle (nicknamed Rijō, meaning Koi Castle) houses a museum of life in the Edo period. Hiroshima Gokoku Shrine is within the walls of the castle. Other attractions in Hiroshima include Shukkei-en, Fudōin, Mitaki-dera, and Hijiyama Park.
The atomic bombings of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan were conducted by the United States during the final stages of World War II in 1945. The two events are the only use of nuclear weapons in war to date.Following a firebombing campaign that destroyed many Japanese cities, the Allies prepared for a costly invasion of Japan. The war in Europe ended when Nazi Germany signed its instrument of surrender on 8 May, but the Pacific War continued. Together with the United Kingdom and the Republic of China, the United States called for a surrender of Japan in the Potsdam Declaration on 26 July 1945, threatening Japan with prompt and utter destruction. The Japanese government ignored this ultimatum, and the United States deployed two nuclear weapons developed by the Manhattan Project. American airmen dropped Little Boy on the city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945, followed by Fat Man over Nagasaki on 9 August.
Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects killed 90,000--166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000--80,000 in Nagasaki, with roughly half of the deaths in each city occurring on the first day. The Hiroshima prefecture health department estimated that, of the people who died on the day of the explosion, 60% died from flash or flame burns, 30% from falling debris and 10% from other causes. During the following months, large numbers died from the effect of burns, radiation sickness, and other injuries, compounded by illness. In a US estimate of the total immediate and short term cause of death, 15--20% died from radiation sickness, 20--30% from burns, and 50--60% from other injuries, compounded by illness. In both cities, most of the dead were civilians, although Hiroshima had a sizeable garrison.On 15 August, six days after the bombing of Nagasaki, Japan announced its surrender to the Allies, signing the Instrument of Surrender on 2 September, officially ending World War II. The bombings led, in part, to post-war Japan's adopting Three Non-Nuclear Principles, forbidding the nation from nuclear armament. The role of the bombings in Japan's surrender and their ethical justification are still debated.

Horrified in Hiroshima!
It was horrifying experience in Hiroshima. River Motoyasu is conscience & witnessed innumerable deaths of innocent people. The first atomic bomb attack on mankind. (1945 August 6th 8.15 am) We wish & pray for such an event NOT TO OCCUR AGAIN.

Odesza Feat. Monsoonsiren – Memories That You Call
It's been a while since Sydney & Europe, this is part 2 of 6 showcasing the many sites I saw from a very quick paced Japan trip. My Dad was invited to Tokyo for a conference, during my university break. So a close friend of dad's, Trevor, Thomas and I flew to Osaka. Our fast passed journey would also cover Kyoto, Hiroshima, and Tokyo. It was a busy 10 days, but we came away with an amazing trip seeing the culture and many sights of this incredible place. In this second part, we hopped on our very first bullet train into Hiroshima for a day. Japanese architecture seems to have old charm as if you are stepping back in time.
Hiroshima was a moving experience, it has a great tourist bus route and we were able to immerse ourselves into the history of Hiroshima and the advent of the nuclear bomb at Peach Memorial Park. Come afternoon, instead of visiting Hiroshima Castle we ventured out to Miyajima Island, about an hour out of Hiroshima for a little adventure. We merely picked to head out there because of the popular Floating Torii gate apart of the Itsukushima Shrine. Moreover, Miyajima was such a cute island we got there quick late so most of the sites were shutting down, I wished we’d have had more time; it was a beautiful way to end the day in Hiroshima. Stay tuned for Part 3: Kyoto Japan. We only had a day and a half but boy, did we have lots of sights to see!
For great travel advice around Japan, we had done a fair bit of research on places to go in Hiroshima and the other cities at It was easy to navigate website that I would really recommend to get a feel for direction in each city and learn about the top rated tourist destinations you can visit.
Feel free to check out my Thailand series and my 11 part UK/Europe adventures, captured in 2015. Lastly, watch this space for more travel videos to come. Thanks for watching and let the wanderlust continue…

Passing the Legacy: Hiroshima and Nagasaki
On November 9, 2019, the Japanese American National Museum opened its latest exhibition, “Under a Mushroom Cloud: Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and the Atomic Bomb,” sharing information about not just the facts of the bombings during World War II, but also the stories of Japanese American survivors who were in the cities at the time. To this day, atomic bomb survivors, known as “hibakusha” continue to share their memories of the events that changed the course of history forever.
The program opened with an introduction by President and CEO Ann Burroughs and was moderated by JANM Vice President of Exhibitions Clement Hanami, whose own mother was a hibakusha. The program included presentations by Takuo Takigawa, Director of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum; and very personal testimonies from two Japanese American survivors, Howard Kakita and Junji Sarashina. Following their presentations, Kakita and Sarashina answered questions from the audience.
Just like the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the survivors carry with them a painful history yet remain at the center of perseverance and hope for a better future.
