What other travelers are saying about Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park
Simply put, an amazing place to visit. Beyond the gorgeous looks and the natural exhibits throughout the premises, the park transmits a message that should resonate with us all - war is horrible in all possible ways, peace is what should unite us all and nuclear weapons should not ever be used again, it's hard not to feel emotional walking throughout it. The park has many monuments worth visiting if you're in Hiroshima, and it's situated just across the river from the famous atomic dome. On the North side of the park you'll also find the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, which contains an amazing permanent exhibition that highlights the devastating consequences the use of the atomic bomb has had on the city. Worth visiting!
There is a lot more to this park than you might imagine. It’s beautifully laid out and peaceful. Difficult to comprehend the atom bomb going off 600m directly above your head only 80 years ago. Definitely worth an hour of your time. The museum at the end was also excellent value at only Y200 - there’s loads in there so allow plenty of time.
Visited in March 2025. Located in the heart of Hiroshima city the park is filled with history and a terrifying reminder of what humankind is capable of. A must see with your own eyes as pictures will never do the real life location enough justice
The park and the museum gives you chilling insight into the fateful day and aftermath of one of the darkest days in history. The place and memorabilia can be overwhelming for mild hearted people, but equally important to understand why such events should never happen again. Om Shanti and prayers for all those who suffered back in the day.
Amazing historic site that shows how cruel humans can be to one another.
Seeing the dome building in person was an emotional experience.
The memorial park and the museum was very crowded which detracted from the overall experience. There was so many people inside the museum it was hard to see the exhibits in there entirety.
Overall a very memorable visit.
