The Timeless Scenery of Hiroshima

When I visited Hiroshima, the first thing I felt was a 'quiet resonance.' The Peace Memorial Park and the Atomic Bomb Dome conveyed a calm yet profound message, and standing before them left me momentarily speechless. Though these spaces are imbued with pain, they also carry a strong resolve that such events must never be repeated.

Walking through the city streets, I found them brimming with life. The local market was filled with the laughter of residents, and the enticing aroma of freshly grilled okonomiyaki made me pause in my tracks. Sitting at a café, gazing at the gently flowing river, I could clearly see the warm and vibrant present-day Hiroshima.

Another highlight was Miyajima. The striking red torii gate standing tall over the sea was enchanting, and the layers of sunset hues spreading across the sky at dusk left a lasting impression on both my eyes and heart.

Traveling to Hiroshima was not merely a journey of 'sightseeing,' but one of 'feeling.' In this place where pain and hope, tranquility and vitality coexist, I found myself reflecting once more on the meaning of life and peace.
