Hiroshima Peace Museum, a time to reflect.

A trip to Hiroshima isn’t complete without a visit to the Peace Memorial Museum. The city is famous for the events of the 6th August 1945 and this museum is a perfectly curated exhibition to help you gain understanding.

The museum helps you understand life in Hiroshima before the war, during the war and what happened after the bomb was dropped.

There is an incredible amount of testimony from people who lost family during the attack and amazing artefacts from the rubble to help contextualise everything.

The museum can be very graphic at times so it might not be for everyone but there are plenty of places to stop and take a break if needed.

For anyone interested in history, politics or war this is a a must stop on your trip to Japan
