Atomic Bomb Dome

The Atomic Bomb Dome is one of Hiroshima's most iconic landmarks, serving as a powerful symbol of peace and resilience. Remarkably, despite being directly beneath the explosion's epicentre, the structure of the Industrial Promotion Hall did not collapse. Instead, the ruins and skeletal dome were preserved as a poignant monument to the destructive power of nuclear weapons. The Atomic Bomb Dome is not merely a historical site; it stands as a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a call to action for peace. When visiting, take a moment to reflect on the past and consider the importance of striving for a future free from the threat of nuclear weapons. 30 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Witness the skeletal remains of the Atomic Bomb Dome, a chilling reminder of the bomb's devastation. Reflect at the Children's Peace Monument, where a young girl's statue holding a paper crane embodies the innocent lives lost and enduring hope. Let the eternal Flame of Peace inspire you, a symbol of the ongoing fight for a world free from nuclear weapons. Ring the Bell of Peace, sending silent prayers for a brighter future. This serene park, with its walking paths and thoughtful landscaping, invites quiet contemplation.
