A must-see in Hiroshima: A place to wish for peace.

When visiting Hiroshima, one spot you should not miss is the Atomic Bomb Dome.

This site conveys the devastation caused by the world's first atomic bomb, dropped on Hiroshima at 8:15 AM on August 6, 1945.

Located along the Motoyasu River, a tributary of the Ota River, the dome remains almost exactly as it was after the bombing, serving as a stark reminder of the horrors of war and nuclear weapons. In 1996, it was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site 🌎.

The Peace Memorial Park is also nearby, making Hiroshima a place to reflect and wish for peace.
