What other travelers are saying about Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park
BEAUTIFUL and Powerful park. Thinking of what took place, coupled by the now serene setting, takes a tragic moment, and delivers a strange sense of peace, which makes you reflect on how we, humans are ALL really the same.
Around the park, the day we went, local students may approach you for a quick signature to sign against nuclear weapons and their disarmament. It's a legitimate project that has been going on for years and the signatures are handed over to the UN.
The park has statues throughout, like the children's statue and a giant Peace Bell to ring as well.
And of course the remnants of the last standing building is there across the river, bare, yet steadfast telling the world 🌎 that what took place here should NEVER happen again. Don't be concerned with Peace Park being depressing, see it as a reminder of Hope. ENJOY!
It was a somber day, please prepare yourself for what you will see, read and hear. It's a beautiful park with a beautiful message. It is hard not to think about the peculiar place in the history of the world this place has become. Please try to remember that there is a burial mound with 60,000 people's unidentified ashes there, so maybe lower your voices, contemplate, and put down the selfie stick.
This place is really special. A must visit for everyone coming to the area. Well kept, with memorials to those we lost during the Atomic bomb in 1945. Truly humbling.
Beautiful park with many different monument la to see. Incredible history here. Take your time and see the Atomic Dome, Children's Peace Memorial, the Memorial Mound, multiple cenotaphs as well as the Gates of Peace and definitely the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.
The cruelty of war is depicted so realistically. The suffering of the people is so heartbreaking. I cried a lot visiting this museum, I recommend a visit to understand the horror of the atomic bomb.
