What other travelers are saying about Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is a deeply moving and historically significant destination that I had the chance to visit twice. On the first day, I explored the area around the Atomic Bomb Dome, and on the second day, I visited the Hiroshima Peace Museum. Both experiences were profound and offered a powerful reminder of the tragedy and resilience of humanity.
I highly recommend visiting earlier in the day, as major museums in the park close after 5:00 PM. The museum is an essential stop, as it vividly portrays the devastating impact of the atomic bomb and honors the victims with heartfelt exhibits.
The park itself is beautifully arranged, creating a calm and reflective atmosphere for visitors. It’s a place that leaves a lasting impression, encouraging reflection on peace and the importance of preventing such disasters in the future. A must-visit location in Hiroshima.
It was a very nice experience. I really felt touch when I went into the museum. All the memorial make an impact. And I think it is good that they kept the dome A because you can imagine how bug was the impact. And so hopefully when people come here they won't make war but try to make our futur world into real peace !
The museum was really good also. I think you should spend 1 whole day here if you can.
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!
Beautiful park near the museum with lots of greenery and memorial stones.
Walking distance the "sole building/frame" that withstood the devastating atomic bomb carnage.
A must to visit if you are in Hiroshima
Tranquil beautiful park that does a great job of marking the historical importance and also allowing you room to roam. Very good for the family to spend time in
