Atomic bomb explosion site


The Atomic Bomb Dome, located in the center of Hiroshima, is a must-see attraction for every visitor to Hiroshima. It is very easy to reach because it is located in the city center. The area near the Bomb Dome is also the busiest street in Hiroshima. Although Hiroshima was almost completely razed to the ground by the US atomic bomb in 1945, this building was not completely destroyed. Therefore, the government included it as a monument and it was preserved. In addition, the United Nations also listed it as a World Cultural Heritage in 1996. You can take the city tram from Hiroshima JR Station and reach the Peace Memorial Park, the Atomic Bomb Dome, the Peace Memorial Museum, and the Sons of the Atomic Bomb Statue in about 20 minutes. You can also take some time to learn about the development history of Hiroshima. Of course, the first choice of Hiroshima food is the plump Hiroshima oysters. There are many restaurants around that are famous for Hiroshima oysters and Okonomiyaki.
