Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, located in southern Hiroshima, sits across from the Atomic Bomb Dome in the Peace Memorial Park. The museum houses information about Hiroshima’s history before and after the atomic bombing during WWII and aims to educate visitors about the infamous event and after-effects. Through education, the museum seeks to spread awareness about the inhumane nature of nuclear weapons and ultimately ban them. Its message is powerful: No More Hiroshimas.
To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, a virtual tour of the museum has been released, as well as a Peace Park tour from the day of the anniversary event.
The east building contains three floors with permanent and temporary exhibitions. The second floor outlines the history of Hiroshima, while the third floor focuses on the aftermath of the bombing with video testimonies from bomb survivors, as well as displays about the dangers of nuclear weapons. The exhibits reflect the brutal truth of the bombing and the thousands of people who were killed and affected mentally and physically by the painful aftermath.
The permanent exhibits in the main building document the unimaginable horrors through items found after the bombing—a tricycle, a lunchbox, a school uniform—all once mundane objects whose meanings now tell of the instantaneous devastation of human actions. Photos line the walls, honestly displaying the aftermath.
Despite the unfiltered displays of war, the museum never wavers from its core message of remembrance, education, and future peace.

Okonomimura is a Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki theme park located in Shintenchi, Naka-ku, Hiroshima, near the east end of the Hondori shopping street. It has 24 okonomiyaki restaurants, each with a slightly different style and one different selection of ingredients. Okonomiyaki began in the pre-war period as a dish called "Issen Yoshoku" ("" Western food for a dime ""), which was very popular with common people. It consisted of a flour paste cooked with onions, dried shrimp, and spices. After the war, other ingredients such as cabbage, eggs, seafood, buckwheat and wheat noodles were used to improve the diet in these tough times. This is how today's Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki came about. [Photo: Victor Lee / CC BY-NC-ND 2.0]

Hiroshima Peace Park (平和記念公園) is a large green space in the center of Hiroshima — once the thriving political and commercial heart of the city. On August 6th 1945, the world’s first atomic bomb was dropped over the center of Hiroshima City which suffered widespread damage and suffering. Four years later, this area of the city was designated as a memorial zone. Today, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, designed by Japanese architect Kenzo Tange, encompasses 30 acres and is home to numerous memorial statues, monuments and a world-class museum. Arguably the highlight of the park is the Peace Memorial Museum, which underwent a major renovation between 2017—2019. The museum focuses on the events of August 6th, with personal images and paraphernalia from the aftermath of the bomb—including a pocket watch that stopped at 8:15am, the time of the detonation. At the north end of the park, the Atomic Bomb Dome (Gembaku Dome) is a skeletal reminder of the horror of that historic day. At 8:15am, the bomb detonated in the air directly over this area (the exact hypocenter a few blocks away), incinerating much of the city in its path but sparing this building’s metal framework, which remained intact. Today, the A-Bomb Dome serves as a visceral reminder of that fateful day. Peace Memorial Park is a place of remembrance, perseverance and hope for a peaceful tomorrow. President Obama made a historic visit to Hiroshima's Peace Park in 2016.
"Carried to Hiroshima from Tinian Island by the Enola Gay, a U.S. Army B-29 bomber, the first atomic bomb used in the history of humankind, exploded approximately 580 meters above this spot. The city below was hit by heat rays of approximately 3,000 to 4,000°C, along with a blast wind and radiation. Most people in the area lost their lives instantly. The time was 8:15 a.m., August 6, 1945." This plaque on a downtown Hiroshima sidestreet marks the hypocenter of the Hiroshima atomic bombing, with the detonation of 'Little Boy' taking place 600 ft above this spot. Expect to see flowers or paper cranes left in memory at various times of the year.
The Atomic Bomb Dome, or Gembaku Dome, was once the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall. On August 6th, 1945, the world’s first atomic bomb exploded in the air directly over the building. The Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotional Hall was initially built in 1915. Designed by Czech architect Jan Letzel, the building featured European construction styles and was considered both a picturesque and important site in Hiroshima city. When the atomic bomb exploded directly overhead at 8:15am on August 6th, the resulting nuclear blast killed everyone within the building itself and in the immediate vicinity. The roof was set ablaze and the walls were destroyed but the metal frame of the building was mostly left intact. In the post-war years, the hall became known colloquially as the Atomic Dome. Several renovations have been carried out on the remains over the decades, mostly to counteract severe weathering. In 1996, the dome was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, the A-Bomb Dome sits at the northern end of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, a short walk from the Gembaku Dome tram stop (Gembaku-mae) and the city’s central shopping arcades. In the evening, muted lighting illuminates the dome. It presents a striking scene of sadness and loss but also perseverance and hope.
