Atomic Bomb Dome

Hiroshima is one of the cities where the atomic bomb was dropped in Japan, the only country to have suffered atomic bombings. The #GenbakuDome is a heritage site that conveys the past of this tragic weapon to future generations. It has been designated a #WorldHeritage site to convey the horror of the atomic bomb.

The GenbakuDome has been preserved with its arched roof exposed by the atomic bomb. The way the bricks crumble vividly illustrates the horror of the atomic bomb.

To get there, take the #streetcar or bus from Hiroshima Station.

It's also close to #HiroshimaCastle, so we recommend visiting both at the same time.
